From the estate of Hans Guhr (photo taken by his son, Michael)

At least 4 of the places mentioned match very well with the actions of 294. Inf.Div: Montargis - Niska Banja - Gussatschewka - Russkije Tischki

A great analysis was made by WAF member Archi http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...22&postcount=5

The mystery remains about the symbol in the middle (looks like the 122. Infanterie-Division "Greif" but in reverse )

A very important document: the Heiratsurkunde (marriage certificate) of Hans Guhr and Ilse Lemmerzahl, November 18th 1942

Backside of the document, with a photo of a RKT who attended the ceremony?

2 sets of photos:

a) two photos taken a few months after the award ceremony. Private studio pictures that were attached to the album.

b) the upper picture (in low quality) was taken on December 1942; interesting to see he wears the KC on the side.
