U-1195

Hundreds of U-boats displayed emblems in the war, much like many other services from all sides of the war. They varied from typical war emblems (swords, axes, torpedoes etc.) to humorous (Mickey Mouse on U-26) coincidental (the horseshoes on U-99) and many other reasons prompted an emblem. One of the more interesting is the Olympic rings seen on many boats.

Flotilla emblems Most of the 30 U-boat flotillas had emblems. They are all visible on this page. Crew emblems U-boat crews (one batch of officer cadets) often chose their own emblem or insignia. On this page I'll list them all. U-boats with emblems Over 250 U-boats spotted an emblem at one time or another. On this page you can see them all. U-boats without emblems According to our sources the boats on this page did not display an emblem of any kind. Please check this page out and contact us if you find a boat here that did in fact have an emblem since that would be new information.

About these emblems
Starting in Dec, 1998 I've created over 156 emblems in vector format. This ensures much higher quality of emblems and also opens up the possibility of having much larger versions without loosing quality. All Emblems of the Week pages will use vector-created images and older emblems will be replaced by the newer format.

If there is enough interest I might create a few larger versions of those emblems to be used as wallpapers.
