                The Youngest Combat Skipper

                                     

A few months past his 21st birthday, Oblt. z.S.  d.R. HANS-GEORG HESS took command of U-995 and became the youngest combat submarine commander during World War II -- possibly the youngest ever in the history of submarine warfare.

HESS took command of U-995 in August of 1944, a time when 9 out of 10 German U-boats were destroyed on their first mission - he brought his boat and his men back from five successful war patrols.  He was a brave, fearless commander and soon won the Knight's Cross to the Iron Cross.

Now you may own a limited edition (only 1,000 made) print of Captain Hess.  The actual size of this rare print is 11" x 14", perfect for framing and hanging in your den.  Captain Hess has hand-signed all 1,000 of these prints.
