Krim

[Zheleznyi]

Hi guys!
Original?

[Tim DC]

Without knowing too much about award docs, this does not appear to be an original.

A.H.Qu. ?

[Zheleznyi]

I badly speak English. What is "A.H.Qu." ?

[milcollector]

the signature looks like a stamp rather than hand signed.
I tend to think this cert is a good one.

[Maikäfer]

A.H.Qu. ?

Never heard of Armee-Haupt-Quartier ?

[Hank C.]

I would also give this doc a .

Looks fine.

Never heard of Armee-Haupt-Quartier ?

Of course. But to my best knowledge, this company belonged to the second battalion of AR818 serving in the 2nd Armee under General der Infanterie Hans von Salmuth, and not in the 11th Armee under Generalfeldmarschall Erich von Manstein, whom the signature obviously belongs to.

I would be interested in what the stamp says ?

[Simon O.]

Looks ok to me too.

The stamp is the usual A.Ob.Kdo.11 (Armee Oberkommando 11)

Krim shields were authorised and awarded by authority of AOK.11 hence the stamp and stamped sig, that includes units such as this one that had served under that command but had subsequently moved to another armee.

Thanks for explaining. Another lesson learned today

One last remark is that there really seems to be a capital C in "Cdo" instead of a k/K.

Master3477: "Hi,

I can`t tell if it is a original. I just see the Typo. In german it is:

"das Schild" but "DER Krimschild"

Cheers
Sven

P.S.: it would be a very early document ( 2 month after the Krimshild was endowed)"

Your opinion, please

Helmut Weitze has another couple similar to this typed version, with a somewhat later award date. Item #81980 & 70842, without the typo. Even some Germans can't know all the "der, die, das" rules.

I still think it's good.
