Captain Daniel Gallery wrestled for the U.S. in the 1920 Olympic Games in Antwerp, Belgium.

Gallery gave Harald Lange his binoculars back in the 1964 reunion at Griffin MSI. When Lange died in 1967, his wife donated them to the U-boat archives in Germany, where they are on display today. They are the only set of U-505 binoculars not in the Griffin MSI collection. (video/photo)
