Reinhard – Heinz?

A very interesting thread!!! Especially as I am the one who bought the Heinz group from Weitze.
The group has been inspected by Kay Brüggemann and I have got a lifetime guarantee. And as I know, that Weitze knows, that I am a stubborn, hard piece of Kruppstahl he would never had sold this group to me if it wasn´t OK. Hamburg is not very far from Sweden and I visit Germany at least once a year...
Schumacher is a very common name in Germany. It´s so common that although I know in what town to look for relatives to Heinz, I haven´t bothered.
It´s like looking for a James Brown in NYC. Two Schumachers in the same company is no problem for me.

Yes, Andy! In the small Bender book about this award you can find exactly this document, but to another soldier of the same unit.

Hi Ludwig-
The group you bought off Weitze was a beautie !! I do not question it whatsoever. Having contacted Kay, he got back to me telling me the story about the duplicate Kreta document. Upon deep consideration I did return it to him as I felt uncomfortable with the fact that it was typically a "second issue" and not his "original" per se. Just thought you might like to know. Nice group, though, best regards

Best regards/ Daniel
