Hand filled citations.

[Angel Farré]

Against the normal rules of mass produced citations and filled by typewriters sometimes we can see that some clerk has taken time to do a little artwork, perhaps for a fellow comrade or a respected superior. I like to see what you have relating to this, I have search my collection and found a few that I post here, please do the same and let us see what you have.

First WH Long Service award for later Hauptmann Karl Schaab (DKiG winner), see it was done in the way you write a letter not too much time spent.

Another WH Long Service award, this time to later Major Hermann Wunnenberg (DKiG winner).

This time a better work done, look that neither of both bears the signature of the commanding officer, one a stamp and the othera F.d.R. one.

Sudetenland medaille for later Leutnant Gregor Bux.

[Angel Farré]

West Wall medal to later Hauptmann von Kniedstedt (DKiG winner).

The rank of the bestowing general must be added by hand and the one from the signing officer by typewriter.

Our friend Schaab again, looks like he was an apreciated man, a lot of work in his citations. This time is his Black Wound Badge.

Angel

[Angel Farré]

Ostmedaille to later Obergefreiter Sankowski (EK II winner not only DKiG winners has the right to receive hand filled citations )

Angel

[Angel Farré]

I make a mistake, second citation is to later Oberfeldwebel Helmut Brogeler and not to Major Wunnenberg, the one for W. is typewrite filled, sorry

IAB posthumously to Leutnant Gregor Bux killed at Borodino on July 20th, 1.941.

Angel

[Angel Farré]

Gold Wound Badge to Obergefreiter Lambert (EK I winner) 6 time wounded for the fatherland well worth a little work for the clerk. Lambert was wounded for the seventh time on August 18th, 1944. He survived the war.

Angel

[Angel Farré]

EK II to Obergefreiter Turke. He fought with one of those ammassed units formed with the remanents of destroyed divisions. Very nice work. Turke served sometime with the GD.

Angel

[Angel Farré]

Final one, ersatz type, but handfilled in a nice way. Nahkampfspange in silver to Obergefreiter Neumaier (EK I winner)

Now it's your time, show me what you have, citations of course.
