Documents taken from U Boat

[hemi rt]

My Dad removed these off the U190 when the ship he was on captured it within Canadian waters.

I think they are transfer orders but I'm not sure. Also do they have any value?

[booboo252]

I agree that they are equipment transfer docs. As to value, I would not pay more than £5 each. Its very difficult to say, as if someone wants them, they will pay good money for them.

The first one refers to 2kg of Welding wire of 2 and 4mm thickness.

Cheers, Ade.

Correct. The second one is for:

3 Light bulbs
1 Roll of electrician's tape
1 Roll of Ölleinenband (literally "oil-linen tape", perhaps "oilcloth tape" would be the correct translation, but I am not sure about that and the actual use of this item.)
1 Pad of testing-paper for determining electrical polarity
1 Attachment plug for an electrical hand lamp

Much depends on the Value of Paper work, Myself I would keep these Esp as there is a family link.

HPL Maybe the Oil cloth Tape, would of bean used for outer cover for the insulation Tape (?) when making electrical Repair in a Damp environment.

Could be. Perhaps a member with a specialized interest in U-Boats or naval matters in general will know for sure.

Hemi, they are really cool uboat documents

As the second document shows E.Masch., it is clear that the equipment was for the Elektromaschinenraum of U 190.

Great documents.

Best regards
