RK preliminary award document to SS-Sturmbannführer Paul Maitla
Führer I./Waffen-GrenRgt 45 der SS (estn. Nr.1)
Presented on: August 23rd, 1944

It was already said the RK doc of Maitla was fake, but I just found out that the same example is located at the Vaivara Sinimägede Muuseum, Estonia.

The previous photo of this document was featured on the book "Europas Freiwillige der Waffen-SS", by author Patrick Agte.

In the 1970's I remember several fakes to this guy. Almost identical. By the same forger I'm sure. Tom
