Infantry grouping with '86' EKII w/packet

[Robert P.]

The Wehrpass indicates Willi Lange enlisted in the Wehrmacht in 1936. He was in Denmark, France and Russia - Charkow. His units were the IR 469 (up to 1943) and the Panzerregiment 15 & 35 (1943-1945). His time with the Panzerregiments he was also an infantryman (on foot) pushing toward Moscow. The entry into the Wehrpass for his infantry assualt badge doesn't designate whether it was a bronze or silver, but the badge definately has evidence of being a silver, a foot soldier.

Robert,
A very nice presentation of your grouping.

Chet

Yes, thank you Chet, it was nice for once to have something more than just a piece of a group as a medal or badge, now I have actual history for a particular soldier that will always stay together and be preserved for many years to come.

Thanks,
Robert

Paulmann and Crone

[Robert P.]

Here's the cross I started the thread with. Look at the little 'lines' in the swasi, like layout lines to the designer...same on both crosses...same cross...

More confirmation of a true '86'

Good observation and way to tell what you are dealing with........perhaps an interest to those who have an unmarked cross or two in their collection.
