A very nice example of a known U-boat cap tradition emblem depicting a snowman.
This particular emblem being attributed to the crew of U-201, during its time under the command of Kptlt. Adalbert Schnee. "Schnee" in itself meaning "snow", and hence the association / superstition was formed.
Schnee himself would oversee 7 individual patrols at the helm of U-201 and earned the Oak Leaves to his Knights Cross upon the final of these patrols before leaving the boat.
