Description

Nice, signed b&w 4x6 photo of Cpt Horst vonSchroeter. From UBoat.net...Horst von Schroeter began his naval career in October 1937. Later he spent five months on the battle cruiser Scharnhorst, including two patrols in the first months of the war. In May 1940 he joined the U-boat force. After six patrols as WO on U-123 he took over this famous boat from Reinhard Hardegen on 1 August, 1942 . He left the boat in June 1944 and two months later commissioned the Type XXI boat U-2506, which sailed to Bergen, Norway in the last days of the war, but never went on war patrol. In 1956 he joined the Bundesmarine. From 1976 to 1979 he was the Commander of the NATO Naval forces in the Baltic Sea Approaches (COMNAVBALTAP). He retired in 1979 with a rank of Vizeadmiral, and as such was the highest ranking former U-boat officer in the Bundesmarine.
