Thanks Ian, after a lot of time in contact with Stijn I think he has pass on me his virus, but in a less virulent variant, the Krim variant to be exact, and now I have a special predilection for such campaign medal.

Very nice piece you have here. Hope to see you more in the forum.

Cordial greetings,

Thanks for the advise Stijn, but I'm worry it arrives too late. I suffered this irresistible impulse to buy every group Krim related, did you see the Cholm group that Peter has in his web`page? I sent you a PM.

What a wonderfull Christmas present are you going to make me, I have sent you a PM with my full address so you can send it to me quuickly, thanks again

Wonderfullpiece and thanks to show it to us. Now I have some minor groups, but no one showing the shield in wear so when, note I not use if, decided to sell it, soon please, drop me a line.

Can you show us the award page, it's rare he did not received the IAB.

Angel

Why not in my collection

[erichcraciun]

More from Neuberger's Soldbuch. Awards page. The Westwall Medaille is on page 21.

Notice the EK 1 is not entered in the Soldbuch, however in the private foto of Neuberger, he is wearing it (thanks for the foto Ian!) The Krimschild entry is in pencil! But he was awarded it - he is wearing it in the foto!

Ian - do you have an idea why Neuberger's EK 2 is issued 'laut Urkunde des 3./IR 467', when according to the unit page, Neuberger never served in IR 467. This Soldbuch was issued on 25. Sept. 1939.

[Ian Jewison]

Hi Erich,

Inf.Rgt. 460, 260 Inf.Div. From May 1942 XII AK, 4 Armee, Hgr. Mitte, Spass-Demensk

Inf.Rgt. 467, 267 Inf.Div. From June 1942 XXVII AK, 4 Armee, Hgr. Mitte Spass-Demensk

Apart from being under the same Armee and Heeresgruppen I can not see any specific detachement for either unit for the time mentioned, however this could have been at Kompanie level only and would not be referred to in the references I have.

There is a link here with a bit of info re: 460.
