Kvk document - Admiral der norwegischen Polarküste

[jeffie]

Good day everyone,

And for the Dutch members happy queens day. I hope somebody can help me. I have a document of a KvK. But I have a question about the signature. Does anyone know of who it is?

Sorry for the sunlight at the bottom of the photo.

Thanks, kind regards,

Jeffrey.

That's a great document! Haven't seen that version before, although it's super-similar to the most common KVK w/swords version.

Great information Harmel, thanks a lot! Now I can start finding more information about him.

You also thanks Hank. And nice to hear you like it.

The signature is a facsimile, not hand signed.

Here's a photo of Nordmann from my collection, he's on the left in conversation with Eduard Dietl ca.May 1944.

His career history you'll find at the Axis Biographical Research site.

Here's an example of a KVKII m/S from my collection awarded on the same day as yours.
