Oblt.z.S. ? Karl-Eduard Karcher

[Erich~]

Gentlemen :

I received a beautiful foto of this RK Kommandeur while in the 4th Schnellbootflottille and have not been able to find any biographical information on his career on the net unless I am not finding it somewhere, and sadly do not own the KM volumes by biblio Verlag on the RK receipients.  Could someone please share his career statistics during the war ?

many thanks

all I really have is the date of his Deutsche Kreuz as being :  26.11.1942 as Kommandeur of S-63
