Battle Flag of the Kriegsmarine with the Commander’s Pennant from the U-407 Submarine
- Flag with a dedication inscription:
"18.12.41 – 12.1.44. To the Commander, remembering the U-407 submarine."
On a white metal plaque attached to the pennant, it reads:
"18.12.41 – 12.44. In good memory of 'Ubst'" (nickname of the ship’s commander, Ernst-Ulrich Brueller)
Zum guten Gedenken an "Ubst".(Ubst is a shortened name of the Ulrich Brüller)
The Commander’s pennant of the Kriegsmarine, flown on warships, was typically displayed only when entering port or while docked, attached to the naval flag. The pennant measures "1.5," as marked. The condition shows signs of use.
Every warship displays the commander’s pennant as a sign of the commander’s presence on board—a tradition adopted by the Third Reich’s navy. The flag measures 50 × 85 cm.
The flag bears both the Kriegsmarine acceptance mark and the manufacturer's mark, and it's size: R.Kr.Fl 50x85
The submarine completed 12 daring patrols, sinking three ships with a total displacement of 26,892 GRT, and damaging four others, including the British cruiser Birmingham. On January 9, 1944, an airstrike struck the submarine, claiming the lives of four of its command crew, an event that most likely marked the end of Ernst Brüller's service aboard the boat. The submarine was ultimately lost on September 19, 1944, after a fierce attack by British destroyers. It now rests on the seabed of the Mediterranean, a silent, forgotten monument of war, hidden beneath the waves of that ancient sea.
