<HTML>Hi
Does anyone have a list of which u-boat crewmen were presented with their kc\'s by
Adolf Hitler.
My understanding is most of them were perhaps presented by doenitz or flottilla chiefs etc\'certainly later in the war.
Perhaps the higher grades awarded were still presented by Adolf Hitler in person.
So my question generally is which of them met him in person.
I know Priens was presented personally and i have a photo of Mertens\'Guggenberger\'Luth and Tonnies getting their oakleaves approx jan 1943.
Thanks</HTML>
