17Lieutenant Commander in the German Coastal Artillery Korvettenkapitän Küstenartillerie – Custom Printed Brick Block Figure

The character is:

• A generic German Naval Officer from the World War II era. The text in the image gives his specific rank and branch: “Korvettenkapitän Küstenartillerie.”
  • “Küstenartillerie” is German for Coastal Artillery, which was a ground-based branch of the German Navy (Kriegsmarine).
  • “Korvettenkapitän” is a naval officer rank that translates to Lieutenant Commander.
• Therefore, the character is a Lieutenant Commander in the German Coastal Artillery. He does not represent a specific, named person.

The items in the picture are:

• A toy minifigure of a German officer: The figure is wearing a green officer’s uniform with a peaked service cap (Schirmmütze). The uniform features printed details like medals and rank insignia on the shoulders.
• A Kriegsmarine Command Flag tile: In the main pose, the figure holds a square tile printed with the design of a command flag used in the German Navy. This specific blue flag with a swastika and Iron Crosses was the command flag for the commander of a naval station.
