    Who signed this?

    Greetings to all.
    I recently purchased this EK2 group and would like to know if anyone out there
    knows who the SS-Gruppenfuhrer is that signed it?
    Many thanks,
    AB.

          Thanks Ian for your help. Much appreciated.
          Thanks Nick and Simon for your coments.
          Yes a nice pick up. Got it for a good price. The EK2 is a round '3' and comes with 2 personal letters to his wife, one from the russian front informing her of her husbands death from a mate.
          It was a classic " right place at the right time."............Wouldn't we all love to have more of that happen???

            I don't collect SS stuff, but I wish I could be "right place, right time" for something like this!
            Congrats.

                Interesting that the EK should happen to be a round 3. I picked up a grouping to a GJ a while back, he was awarded the EKII around mid-1940 too and it was also a round 3. Just wonder if it's a coincidence or if a batch of round 3s were being awarded around mid-1940?

                  Good point. In my opinion, the round 3s and uebergrosse crosses all date from the 1939-40 period. Like the Schinkels.
