Please, Information about kriegsmarine ribbons...

[partisan]

Hi,
I have a question for historians of this forum:
an important Italian collector told me that the cap with the ribbons fluttering was not very appropriate for the submarines during the war and sailors, sometimes, put a short ribbons without the tails ... can be true?
Actually I have been viewing many photos and in some of this the tails of ribbon are missing ...
Do you have some information?

Thank you very much

Yes the cap tallies were shortened in UBoats I believe.
