Emblem entry for U-1406
| Emblem | Description |
 | The Running Devil - U-552The emblem was born on U-57 under the command of Kptlt. Claus Korth. There were two variants, first the devil with the torch, and second a red devil who caught a small steamer with Mr. Churchill (designed by the WO Oblt. z. See von Hartmann). Erich Topp took over the red devil and made him famous, displaying it on U-57, U-552 and U-2513. Topp wrote about the devils: "The two dancing red devils wearing the torches of the life and of the destruction." Kptlt. Werner Klug was an officer on U-552 using the red devils on his U-794 and U-1406. Keywords: running devil, red, torch |
