The 3. U-Boot Flottille was established on 1 October 1939 and initially served as a training flotilla before becoming an operational combat unit.
From 1941 onward, the flotilla was based primarily in La Pallice (France), operating German submarines in the Atlantic Ocean as part of the Battle of the Atlantic. The flotilla included several well-known U-boats, among them U-96, later made famous by the novel and film Das Boot.
The flotilla?s official insignia was a black cat, a symbol commonly associated with stealth and vigilance. A really nice overseas cap – and to the paranoid collectors; roughly a total of 8000 men would have served in the flotilla throughout the war. This is not a unique piece.
