ss honor ring document
the document was probably taken from the ss headquarters where the personell files were kept. or were these documents actually given to the recipeints? you usually see them with binder holes punched in them. does anyone have photos of the different types of fonts used during the different periods of awards?

A very nice document, Michael! I checked my copies of the DAL but Dr. Kment evidently entered the SS officers' list so late that his rank was no longer included in the DALs. The last DAL to include all SS ranks was that of 1 December 1938; thereafter, the DALs only included the higher ranks due to the great number of personnel attached to the Waffen-SS.
