WWII Fregattenkapitä Klaus Scholtz signed 6x4 inches black and white photo and one unsigned. Klaus Scholtz began his naval career in 1927 and spent most of his time before war began on torpedo boats (G-8, G-11 and Jaguar). He was Jaguar's commanding officer from June 1937 to April 1939. In April 1940 he transferred to the U-boat force. After only four months of training he commissioned U-108, a large type IXB boat. On his first patrol in February 1941 he sank two ships with a total of 8, 078 tons. His second patrol was very successful: in April 1941 he sank the British armed merchant cruiser AMC Rajputana (16, 644 tons) in the Straits of Denmark. Good condition.
