Just wondering.
OKM would be the German abbreviation for "Naval High Command". By 1943 Dönitz was the CIC of the German Navy, so I guess that the messages could be signed with BdU or better "Dönitz". Just to show I'm smart @ss: OKM doesn't mean "Offizier der Kriegsmarine" but "Oberkommando der Kriegsmarine".
