Great group & spectacular info as always Oriano. As an ISA freak, is it possible to see obverse & reverse pics of the award? Kind regards, Stewy

[jmark]

and its awards... an easy and a difficult ....
the harder is the EK 2 dated May 1944, it is for Stalingrad ?
the photo of Paul awarded....

Yes, the EK2 would have been for Stalingrad. Many survivors of Stalingrad received the EK2 in the first half of 1943 during "Aktion Stalingrad".

Nice grouping, by the way.

and a beautiful photo of the 134 Gren. reg. in France on parade in front of Hitler

Are you sure France? According to the photo title, it should be Jaroslau (Jaroslaw) in Poland?

Otherwise a fantastic thread as always!!!!
