UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons Army, Navy, and Luftwaffe Forum NM WKC Navy...with a story

Just arrived from Weitze in Hamburg. Held this at the Stuttgart show and finally went for it. My second named WKC navy, this one engraved with the name Viertel. There is a single "Viertel" in the KM Ranglisten, Kapitan Zur See Arno Viertel, commander of the Marineartilleriearsenal Trieste, who surrendered with the rest of the German forces there to Tito's IV Army. Viertel survived nearly 10 years of harsh captivity and "partisan justice".
