Items in this pack : Item #1 - Click to view individual item DHM2119. Against All Odds by Robert Taylor. Robert Taylors painting protrays the renowned defiance of the U-Boat crews. Caught on the surface by a PBY Catalina the gun crews of a type VIIc U-Boat are quickly into action. The 3.7cm anti-aircraft gun is hurriedly reloaded while on the upper platform the two 2cm anti-aircraft twins take chunks out of the Catalinas tail - enough damage to secure a respite from the attack. Soon they will dive to relative safety beneath the Atlantic swell. Just one print remains of this edition - now sold out at the publisher. Our print has damage to the border area, but this does not affect the image or the print once framed. Signed by Kapitanleutnant Karl-August Landfermann (deceased), Oberbootsmannsmaat Rudolf Muhlbauer (deceased), Kapitanleutnant Heinrich Schroeteler (deceased) and Korveitenkapitan Helmut Witte (deceased). Signed limited edition of 450 prints (numbered 251 - 700 of 700) Paper size 32 inches x 24 inches (81cm x 61cm)
Item #2 - Click to view individual item DHM1088B. Operation Drumbeat by Anthony Saunders. The entry of the United States into the war opened up vast new hunting grounds for the German u-boat fleet. Operation Paukenschlag (Drumbeat in English) began in January 1942, bringing the U-boats their easiest pickings of the war. Over 300 allied vessels were sunk during the Paukenschlag along the US coastline, ranging from New York harbor, to the Straits of Florida. This period, also known as the second Happy Times to the men of the U-boats, was only brought to an end in mid 1942 by the formation of allied convoy systems. On the evening of April 5th 1942, U552, commanded by Kapitanleutnant Erich Topp, sealed the fate of the British tanker MV British Splendour east of Cape Hatteras. The U-boat was part of the fourth wave of boats of Operation Paukenschlag, she returned to Saint Nazaire on April 27th 1942 having sunk seven ships during the patrol. Signed by Two Knights Cross U-Boat Commanders, Alfred Eick (deceased) and Jurgen Oesten (deceased). Alfred Eick, Jurgen Oesten Knights Cross edition of 50 prints.
