<HTML>I have a couple of questions I will give to the pros. First off, is there any source for U-Bootwaffe related T-shirts? (Pictures of the boats, officers, emblems, etc.) I have found that wearing something like this is a great way to educate the public. Someone in the market sees the shirt and asks about it, and hopefully you can spark their interest in the subject. Question #2: Is there any documentation on U-Boot crews having been issued Wehrmacht style Feldmutze? Seems to me I saw a photo of a Med. based Boot with some of the deck crew wearing tan (Afrika Korps) style caps. Were they issued or \"war trophies\" from the bars in La Spezia? And, last, but certainly not least ..... Did U-156 (Hartenstein) have a boat or Flottilla emblem? And were the crew noted for wearing a version of it on their head gear? Thanks for any help you can give. Tim Kiernan</HTML>
