FJ EK1 Field award document

[gingerbread]

Hi

What do you think of this FJ EK1 field award document from Brest?



IMO the signature seems to be Tollkien, he was the 12th CO commander.

Hi Ben,

I hope that I am wrong, but I don't like it at all, seems to be a fake to me.

Doesn't look like being German made !

Old paper that is made looking older and used.

I'm with Eric-Jan, i don't like it at all. something like this i would have thought ought to be coming from Ramcke himself?

"An Festung BREST" - that#s not the exact German writing.

It should be written "In der Festung Brest".

Thanks all for information.
I agree with you, it seems to be a bad award document.

Hello,
just some other point about this document:

-Signature is "maybe" Tolkien, but he wasn't Hauptmann...

-Festung Brest is rarely seen on documents

-The stamp is odd, and had nothing to do with second FJD

Here is some example of what can be found for FJ documents in Brest (there will be more in my book...when it 'll be finish)

All document shown are "late battle" made, they are made in the last days of the festung...
First one KVKI signed by Ramcke(sorry bad scan), note the stamp, seen in the last days of september on documents signed by Ramcke...

Hi,
last one signed by Pietzonka, KDR of FJR7 and of east sector of Brest (Kroh was division and west sector KDR)
PS: feel free to contact me if you have such document, they will be in good place in my book!
