WWII U-Boat Ace Otto Kretschmer Autographed Photo. Otto Kretschmer was the commander of U-23 and later U-99 where he sank 47 ships for a total of 274,333 tons sunk within the span of two years and became Germany’s number one U-boat ace. He received the Knights Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords for his actions and was known for his daring attacks against destroyers. Kretschmer earned the nickname “Silent Otto” for maneuvering his U-Boat stealthily and for his reluctance to radio reports during patrols. Kretschmer was captured by the British on March 17, 1941 after coming under attack from destroyers HMS Walker and HMS Vanoc. Kretschmer was known for being an honorable sailor that would help the survivors of the ships that he sunk. Autograph is slightly faded but still legible on right photo, autograph on left photo is hard to read. Photos have no damage. Handwriting on envelop is visible and legible. No damage to envelop present. Good condition. From the Michael Clifton collection.

SPECIAL TERMS OF SALE
We work very hard for the consignor as well as the buyer. The auction moves fast between the auctioneer, the on site bids, and the live internet bids. Because of this, one little delay, or what we call 'hiccup' in the internet connection, can cause an online bid to be missed. We apologize if this happens, but it is sometimes inevitable. Please be aware of this when attending a Proxibid auction.
Due to the element of Third Party Auctions and the reliability/unreliability of technical issues, we reserve the right to end an auction early or extend an auction as we see fit. We value our customers, both buyers and sellers, and try very hard to ensure an exciting, smooth, successful auction! We are happy and willing to work with you under any circumstances.
