The Kriegsmarine Uniforms

Uniforms in daily use

Conning tower of U 94
The conning-tower of U-94 as the boat is entering Lorient, France in April 1941. The crew wears the "Arbeitspäckchen" (working suit). Kptlt. Herbert Kuppisch wears his service suit and the white cap - indicating he is the commander.

The mates at the background are wearing bowlers - a nice joke after a long war patrol.
