WOLFGANG EICKSTEDT U-668
Posted by: Cape Crusader ()

Personnel data on this site indicate that Wolfgang Eickstedt, Commander of U-668 between November 1942 and April 1945, was awarded the Lappland Shield on 27 August 1945. Now that date is three months after the end of the War.

Is the award date correct? If so, what circumstances permitted that award at that time? If the stated award date is wrong, what was the correct award date?
