AUTOMATIC RENEWAL

The automatic renewal program has been well received by our Members. It saves time and the headaches of having to fill out a form each year, sticking it in an envelope, hunting up a stamp etc.

For our Members with their credit cards in our files: when your dues are due, we simply charge them to your account and you are renewed for another year – it’s that simple! When you see the charge appear on your statement, send us an e-mail, FAX or phone us to let us know which FREE audiotape you want AND if you have been a Member for five or more years, let us know which videotape you want in addition to the audiotape. Take any tape you wish from our assortment of more than 130 videos – it is your FREE gift. Members love it.

End of an Era in 2004

As our Members know, we always give a FREE audiotape with prompt Membership renewal…..we’ve done this for many years.

At the end of this year, this will end. No, we are not getting cheap, but more and more Members are requesting CD’s rather than audiotapes, so in keeping with Members’ requests and changing technology, at the end of 2004 there will be no more audiotapes, as we move into the 21st century with CD’s.

GOOD NEWS – we have a lot more options available on CD than we do on audiotape. By October we will begin to phase out the audiotapes and will replace them with CD’s.

1/8 of a MILLION!

We keep a count of the number of visits to our website, and on Sunday 6 May 2004, the total overall count topped 125,000! That means one-eighth of a million people have looked at our website to learn the honest history of the U-Bootwaffe. And now, on to the next 1/8 of a million.

Membership Contest and a BAHAMAS CRUISE!

You bet – a Bahamas Cruise is the First Prize for the Member who recruits the most new Members in 2004 (minimum of 15)! If the Member would rather a LIFE Membership instead, that’s what they will receive. Okay, I’m in a generous mood. The Member who recruits the most new Members (minimum of 15) will get their choice of these great prizes AND the Member who recruits the next highest number of new Members (minimum of 15) will receive the OTHER of these two great prizes.

EVERYONE CAN WIN SOMETHING!

You will receive a credit of $5 for each new Member you recruit towards anything in the catalog, your next renewal – whatever you like, you get $5 for each new Member up to four.

If you recruit 5 new Members – you get another year of your own Membership…..FREE!

For every 5 new Members you recruit – you receive one more year of Membership – FREE! I really like that word FREE, don’t you?

Here are Members already on their way to that GRAND PRIZE:

WILLIS CARTO (1059-1989) ………………………………… 3

Oblt. Z.S. d.R. HANS-GEORG HESS (125-LIFE-1985) ……. 1
CARL FROMHAGEN (1242-1989
STEVE WOLFE (3855-LIFE-1994)
VALOR TOURS (5576-1998)

It isn’t difficult. Do you loan your KTB to a friend who enjoys it? That friend would probably love a Membership, so sign them up and besides, you won’t have to wonder where are your missing issues of the KTB when your friend loses them.

Are you part of a re-enactment group? There are people in that group who would love to hear about Sharkhunters. Be creative and YOU can be the GRAND PRIZE winner.

There is plenty of time for YOU to win that GRAND PRIZE. If you need Membership applications, brochures etc. just let us know, and we’ll send them out to you. GOOD HUNTING!

U-Boat Mugs

U-333 and ‘Ali’ Cremer

On one side, your Mug has the photo and signature of PETER-ERICH CREMER (114-+-1985). He earned the Knights Cross. On the reverse side is his tower emblem of the ‘Three Little Fishes’ which came from a popular American song of the war years.

U-96 and Lehmann-Willenbrock

Who doesn’t know the famed boat of the ‘Smiling Sawfish’? On one side of your Mug is the photo and signature of HEINRICH LEHMANN-WILLENBROCK (120-+-1985) and on the other side is the well-known ‘Smiling Sawfish’. He earned the Knights Cross with Oak Leaf.

We didn’t know we even had all these mugs left in stock and we really need the room to be able to walk through the storage room, so we will make a super offer – WHILE THEY LAST!

Normally, our Historic Mugs cost $15 (plus $5 shipping) per mug – but we have to bite the bullet here to clear some room. So here is the SPECIAL pricing FOR THESE TWO MUGS ONLY.

4 MUGS – TOTAL PRICE $30 (plus $5 shipping – we can’t escape Uncle Sam)

So for thirty-five bucks, you have four Mugs – all four the same or mix your selection as you wish but only with these two mug designs. Order soon – quantity is limited.
