great, thank you gentlemen ........ that is Dönitz yes on the right and on the left is ?

Yes, Dönitz on the right. At first, the man on the left bears a resemblance to Kptlt. Herbert Sohler, kommandant of 7th U-Flotilla, but the rank of Oberleutnant z. See dismisses that notion. Most likely he is an adjutant to Dönitz.

The man on the left is Dönitz's adjutant...Hans Fuhrmann (sp?).

Ivan thank you for the ID much appreeciated

pulled the images for now, and thought I would add this interesting fellow. anyone know whom he was ? seems like an old chap for the time in command but ...........

any clues gents ?

I didn't get a chance to look before Ivan or Paul had looked and, I don't seee a pic though you posted it. All I see is that blasted black box with a red x in it.

As for the 2nd pic--the guy looks familiar but, i'd need to look in my books to see. Off-hand-no clue except that he looks familiar.
