Kriegsmarine ORs cap insignia - German
There are good pre-war photos showing this in use, viz the Graf Spee's world cruise, for instance. U-boat crews would always wear these at formal events such as the Indienstellung (commissioning) of their boat, reverting to the schiffchen (fore and aft cap) for regular service use.

Kriegsmarine NCO's sleeve patch - flak machine gunner - German
These oval badges were worn by NCOs and denoted their particular professional skill, in this case a flak machine gunner with three years' experience, signified by the double chevron. The machine gunner in question would probably have operated a 20cm flak cannon, which was the standard flak machine gun of the German Wehrmacht in WW2.

Kriegsmarine NCO's sleeve badge - writer - German
This is a reasonably uncommon NCO qualification badge for, essentially, a naval clerk. Bear in mind that, at this period, not everybody could read and write, even in Germany, let alone proficiently, so someone with a good working knowledge of written German, and with good handwriting, would have qualified for this post.
