Description

Legends are pleased to offer this stunning detailed triple remarque featuring Peter Cremer and U-333...This dramatic reconstruction shows one of the rare occasions when two U-Boats surfaced for a rendezvous in heavy seas during the Battle of the Atlantic ,1943...Peter Cremer joined the German Navy in 1932 , joining the surface warships Koln , Deutschland and Theodor Riedel before joining the u-boats in 1940, commissioning U-152 in January the next year before taking command of U-333 some months later. He sank three enemy ships on his first patrol , and although absolved of blame later , he also sank the German ship Spreewald on this tour. On his second tour , Cremer sank four ships before bringing U-333 back home damaged , a result of being rammed. U-333 was in battle with British corvette HMS Crocus on Cremers third patrol , with the British vessel suffering damage , while 7 crew of U-333 were killed by gunfire from the corvette , Cremer himself being seriously wounded in the incident. Once again U-333 returned to base with heavy damage. After a brief spell on the staff of Donitz , Cremer embarked on another patrol with U-333 , again returning with damage from a depth-charge attack. U-333 was lost on the next patrol , but Cremer had by then left the boat. Towards the end of the war , Cremer commanded U-2519. He was captured and spent a short time in captivity before his release. He was awarded the Knights Cross in June 1942 , with a total of 6 ships sunk – almost 27,000 tons. Peter Cremer died on the 5th July 1992...Signed and numbered by the artist : Robert Taylor and Commander Peter Cremer , the only U-Boat Commander to have survived 25 months of active service by 1943...priced @ Sold...To complement the purchase of your fine art print, we are now able to offer a professional Picture Framing service.
