<HTML>Hello MPC

You write &Ouml;sterreich? Well.
On site
<a href=\\\"[www.geocities.com]\\\">Worldwide Submarine Insignia</a><br>
one can read<br>
<hr NOSHADE><center><b>AUSTRIA/HUNGARY</b></center><br>The Austro-Hungarian
Empire operated submarines from 1904 through 1938 when the
German Nazi regime took over their Navy. Operating a submarine force of about 45 units in the Adriatic during World War I (with another 30 under construction), they wore an anchor shaped badge. Officer\\\'s badges were matte silver while enlisted badges were a white metal. Date of initial issue is unknown. When absorbed into Hitler\\\'s Wermacht, the submariners serving since the first war were allowed to wear their old badges and a reissue of the badges was conducted in 1938 from the original tools. Gold and bimetallic gold and silver versions have been seen. Many copies, restrikes and reissues have been made of this badge since the 1920\\\'s. There is also an Austro-Hungarian submarine veterans association badge.
<br>

How many (and where) submarines operated respected Austrian submarines from 1918 through 1938?

Thank you.

Regards,
