Re-post with ALL insignias.

hint, look at U-552 conning tower

I'm a bit confused now...
Because most sources I found, stated that U-505 only used 4 emblems and the 2nd flotilla emblem isn't one of them.
The other thing that confuses me is that U-552 was in a completely different flotilla group
It might be just me, because I'm a bit tired at the moment and perhaps not learned enough on the subject yet
I hope I don't sound too stupid

Both U-505 and U-522 were in the 2nd and 4th Flotillas. The 4th was a training Flotilla and was not assigned an emblem.

At the time of capture, U-505 had the seashell and flotilla emblems.

Well, now you mention that... I see it too now
wish I had seen that a bit earlier

Haha, well then we have to wait for the man who posted the post in the first place. He should be able to give us an answer

In another photo, from the same series that Desert Ghost's port con shot is from, of the capture from the bow the 2nd flotilla emblem does appear to be there; it is mistakenly labeled as an aft shot; that boat needed a paint job!

Oh wow... I really should do more research next time
Anyways I think I should go to bed now and get some rest so I can try my luck again tomorrow if there will be more questions.

I thank you guys for all this feedback, at least I learned a few new u-505 facts today
