WW2 German Kreigsmarine U-Boat Captains Hat U-96. Sold

U-Boat Hat U-96

Commissioned on 14 Sep, 1940 under Kptlt. Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock and commanded by:14 Sep, 1940 - 1 Apr, 1942 Kptlt. Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock (Knights Cross winner); 28 Mar, 1942 - 15 Mar, 1943 Oblt. Hans-Jürgen Hellriegel (Knights Cross winner); 16 Mar, 1943 - 30 Jun, 1944 Wilhelm Peters; Feb, 1944 - Jun, 1944 Oblt. Horst Willner; 1 Jul, 1944 - Feb, 1945 Oblt. Robert Rix. It had 11 patrols, a huge number in U-boat terms and sunk 27 ships with a total of 181.206 GRT, 4 ships damaged for a total of 33.043 GRT and 1 ship a total loss with a total of 8.888 GRT.
