I couldn't see any for that date and those initials. The closest I found was:

Klotz, Hermann Olt. IR 119(mot) WH 02-10-42


There seems to be a lot of awards with 3-10-1942 though. Who knows what the actual date signifies? It could be the action date, the award ceremony date, etc.

Could it be the other way around? January 10, 1942?

Just a thought.

Unlikely, as the Germans didn't use the Amercian date format MM-DD-YYYY but the european standard DD-MM-YYYY. Maybe the initials could be reversed though?

Hi Rich,

I know what you are saying and its a long shot, but I have read several times about German-Amercians living in the US for several years before the war and they left to go back to Germany to fight (before US entered). Some I am sure were americanized enough to maybe switch the dating around. I know its a long shot.....just a thought.
