Now that's an impressive piece of paper
I agree with you - it never ceases to amaze me how up to the very end of hostilities, awards were being handed out and promotions were taking place while the entire Reich was crumbling all around them.
As a fan of late-war paper/docs I have to say that this is one very nice piece of history you have there!

Tell me about it.
It makes you think about what these guys were going through that late in the game. The desperate attempts they made and the risks they took- even when they knew that all hope of winning the war was lost. The will to survive makes you do some pretty amazing things, and this document is testament to that.

Originally posted by Flak88Thanks guys, but this is but one document in a large grouping! One question - what does the "fdl" stand for?
Thanks,
Marc
Is this grouping in your possession, or is it for sale? What else is included?
As John already stated fdl is an abbreviation for feindlichen, which in English translates directly to "hostile" but in this context means hostile enemy.

April 22, 1945
Noontime: During a turbulent briefing Hitler suffers several rage attacks. He admits that the war is lost and gives notice of his suicide. He ordered relocation of most of the military staff to Goering on the Obersalzberg. General Hans Krebs becomes representative ob the supreme commander of the armed forces (Wehrmacht) in the 'Fuehrerbunker'.
Evenings: Hitler appoints SS-General Wilhelm Mohnke as commander of the fights in the government area (defense zone: fortress = “Zitadelle“).
Evenings: Goebbels announced that he would stay in Berlin together with Hitler. Shortly after that, Magda Goebbels moves into the bunker, together with her six children.
