Lot 62 | Preussen: Eisernes Kreuz, 1914, 1. Klasse, im Etui - U 38.
Geschwärzter Eisenkern, dreifach gebrochen, silberne Zarge, rückseitig graviert:"U38 / Lt. Kruse 16.4.17", an Nadel, diese S-W gepunzt, im braunen Lederetui mit golden aufgeprägtem EK, weißes Seiden-Innenfutter, violettes Inlay mit Aussparung für die Nadel.
Unter dem Kommando von Kapitänleutnant Max Valentiener machte U38 bis April drei Feindfahrten mit, auf denen bis zum Verleihungsdatum des EK1 137 feindliche Schiffe aufgebracht und versenkt worden waren. Dies machte Valentiener zum zweiterfolgreichsten U-Boot-Kommandanten des 1. Weltkrieges, was auch in der Verleihung des Orden Pour le Mérite am 26. Dezember 1916 durch Telegramm des Kaisers im Hafen von Cattaro seinen Ausdruck fand. Im Zusammenhang dieser Verleihung darf sicherlich auch die EK1 Verleihung an Leutnant Kruse gesehen werden, als sichtbare Ehrung der Mannschaftsmitglieder, die am Erfolg Ihres U-Bootes auch großen Anteil hatten.
Unterlagen zu U38 anbei.
Zustand: I-II
