'DAS REICH' Major's recom for DKiG & RK award docs

[andrewb]

Now here is something you won't see very often. Two very rare documents I picked up a few weeks ago. They are recommendation reports for the DKiG and RK. It goes into detail why the CO thinks the award should be bestowed. The best thing about these 2 docs is that it's for the one man!!
He is SS-Sturmbannfuhrer RUDOLF ENSELING of SS-Pz.Rgt.2, "DAS REICH".

They are in perfect condition with no folds or tears. Here are some photos of this great set. Comments welcome.

Regards,
AB.
