Hello, Please see my other U-Boat listings. What I am listing Is one (1) 8x10 photograph autographed by a Torpedoman on the U-505, Wolfgang Schiller. In the late 1990's I met Hans Goebler, another veteran of the U-505 at military collector shows. I became friends with Hans and It was through Hans that I met and corresponded with Wolfgang. The autograph on the photo Is real, actual, not a scan, facsimile or forgery. I corresponded with Wolfgang from 1998-2002. He came to Chicago with his wife Ruth to be Interviewed about the capture of the U-505 and I met wih them t Item 2 Is a 5x7 photo of Wolfgang, and along with that, seperately Is a copy of a postcard setting up our meeting date in Chicago and Informing me that Hans had died. I am Including a copy (not the original) for provenance of Wolfgang's signature.
