Well, well, well, it turns out that not all nicknames are bald-faced exaggerations. I present
Kapitänleutnant Joachim Schepke, "Ihrer Majestät bestaussehender Offizier."
At the Berlin Sportpalast in February 1941.
Autographed photo after receiving the RK: I think the oakleaves are also on it, but can't see the picture well enough.
Apparently this is him too. On the deck of his U-boat perhaps?
Schepke (centre) and the crew of his last ship, U100.
A propaganda photo by Heinrich Hoffman and artificial colourisation.
A colour wartime plate of Schepke, presumably when he still commanded U29.

2011 calendar link, if anyone missed it while nursing hangovers from the new Year.
