    Pilots Observer w/ Diamonds Doc to Doenitz

    Hi

    I have this posted in photos and paper section but thought it would find more interest in here.

    Supposedly Doentiz could not recollect recieving the award.

    Sorry about that other orders graphic, it snuck into the copy and paste.

    <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="613"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" width="556"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2">arded on: </td> <td> September 11th, 1943 </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </td> <td width="8">

    </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="556"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <td width="40">
    </td> <td width="80">
    </td> <td width="396">
    </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="middle"></td> <td colspan="2" class="artikel-kop-klein" align="left" valign="middle"> GEMEINSAMES FLUGZEUGFUHRER-BEOBACHTER ABZEICHEN MIT BRILLIANTEN </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> Awarded on: </td> <td> 1943 </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" valign="top"> Details: </td> <td> The awarding of this decoration is uncertain. Dönitz was supposed to have received it in an exchange, where Hermann Göring was supposed to have received the U-boot Kriegsabzeichen mit Brillianten. In correspondence with Christopher Ailsby, Karl Dönitz stated he had no recollection of the exchange. </td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>

      Better scans needed, especially of the signature. Of course something of this rarity should have provenance, and for Doenitz not to remember receiving it is a little strange.

                  Wow! It would be worth an amount of money!
                  Who is the owner?

                          I'll get around to posting them later today. The old ones were pretty bad but the new ones are much better. The outer carton and document holder are unquestionable, the document is where my concern lies.

                          There was apparently a pic found of Doenitz wearing the badge and was posted on some luft Luftwaffe forum a few years ago.

                          The document seems to be really a quality piece but I don't mess with Luftwaffe stuff and especially ones like this often. Matt

                            Praubal,

                            Why are you saying it's rubbish? I know it's an oddity but stranger things are out there. Interested to hear why you don't like it already. Matt
