description - Hand Signed
ORIGINAL Oil
Painting. |

|
|
|
 |

This is the original oil painting
by Sharkhunters Member RAY WADDY of USS TIRANTE
going into Quelpart Harbor (Korea) where they torpedoed an AvGas tanker
along with her two escorts.
This original oil painting has been hand signed by both GEORGE STREET
(2448-+-), Medal of Honor
and also by EDWARD L. BEACH (1163-+-1989),
Navy Cross. BEACH went on to write
many fine books, the most famous of which is 'Run Silent!
Run Deep!' which was made into a movie starring Clark Gabel and
Burt Lancaster.
This is not a print - this is an original oil painting; the only one of
its kind in the world and it is in this beautiful frame.

This is a memorial/commemorative
item from the 1994 'Bootsbesatzung' (crew reunion) of the crew of
U-2511, the only Type XXI boat that was able to make a war
patrol before the surrender order. Measuring 12 inches by 9 inches
in a beautiful glass front frame, this is indeed a genuine war item but
not from the war years. This was generated when the crew of
U-2511 had a reunion at the U-Boot-Ehrenmal (Submarine Memorial)
in Kiel in 1994. |

Description - Wooden Soled
Shoes |
 |
|
We were told by a museum director
that these wooden soled shoes were issued to German P.O.W.'s when in
Soviet prison camp for two reasons.
1. They made noise when walking, so the P.O.W. was easily found;
2. The soles did not flex and so it was impossible for the P.O.W.
to run, making escape attempts impossible.
He told us that these
are very rare and should sell for at least $500.

BUYER'S TIPS
A word to the wise.............we know that some
bidders like to wait for the last moment to place their bids - but is that
always a good thing? In our August 2010 Sharkhunters Auction, a bidder was
waiting until the last moment to place his bid but his wife got sick and he had
to rush her to the hospital. He missed his chance to bid and the item was
not bid on by anyone, so the item went back into stock. Fortunately for
him, that item is back on the list for this month. It is okay to wait if
that is your style - but one never knows when something will happen to change
your plans.

HAND-SIGNED Photo - BEACH |
|
HAND-SIGNED photo of Captain EDWARD "Ned" BEACH
(1163-1989). He was a submarine officer throughout his entire
Naval career and was decorated with the Navy
Cross. He commanded the first submarine to
completely circumnavigate the globe underwater. He was also the
Naval Attaché to President Dwight Eisenhower.
A prolific author, Captain BEACH wrote many excellent books, the
best known is "Run Silent! Run Deep!" and it was
turned into a movie starring many well-known actors - Clark Gable, Burt
Lancaster, Jack Warden, Don Rickles and others.

HAND-SIGNED Photo - BRASACK |
 |
|
HAND-SIGNED photo of Kapitänleutnant PAUL BRASACK
(5940-1999). He is a very unusual recipient of the
Knights Cross because he
never sank anything! Toward the end of the war, when things were
going badly for Germany and they needed heroes, PAUL BRASACK
attacked the escort of Convoy JW.56b and when his torpedo detonated in
the wake of a destroyer, several escorts set out after him. They
did not catch him, but he became the 'rabbit' that lured the
escorts away from the convoy and other U-Boats were able to close in and
sink ships.

HAND-SIGNED Photo - HESS |
|
HAND-SIGNED photo of Oberleutnant zur See der Reserve
HANS-GEORG HESS (125-1985) who took command of a combat submarine (U-995)
as a very young man, just four months past his 21st birthday! He
made five successful Feindfahrten (war patrols) in the last few months
of the war, when U-Boats were not returning from their first.
HESS is the youngest Knights Cross
winner of the U-Bootwaffe.
After the war, he became a lawyer and ultimately, a Doctor of Law.
No one helped Sharkhunters more than HESS - he and Sharkhunters
President HARRY COOPER (1-LIFE-1983) became good friends.
