Deutsches U-Boot-Museum

Meanwhile, there is worldwide a colourful and broad range of stamps, sheets of stamps, stamp books, first day covers, etc, where a submarine is the main motive. Many of those are looking nice, are reasonable in price or costly, are false or real. Same applies to mail, that was shipped by submarines or that stems from submariners.

We are able to answer your questions and we can fall back on many original editions, that are ready for your viewing at any time. Furthermore, we hold comprehensive specialist literature and catalogues, allowing us to help on even for difficult inquiries or enabling you to look into those during research.

The German Mail has published already some postal stationary, where the design came from artists, which made use of our services.

Submarine Mail

The merchant submarine "Deutschland" sailed twice to the USA, thereby also carrying mail. When she was about to depart for her third voyage, the USA declared war against Germany. Therefore, the letters and postcards of the mail to be shipped were returned to the senders

The UBoat-Archive holds a comprehensive collection of stamps with submarines depicted, as well as sea mail/ postal stationary from the Federal German Navy and the US Navy.
