I think the docs were cut down to fit into a notebook. A lot of the docs have the typical german two hole punch on the left side where vets kept their important papers in notebooks.
Interesting that he did not get a Rumanian Crusade medal though.

Also interesting is that this soldier was wounded on June 12th, 1.942 and a member of the Pz.Jäg.Abt. 72 whose papers I have, was wounded just two days later in the same area. Regarding the Romanian medal, dates to the same regiment for receiving it was August 1st, 1.943 and in the same division but diferent unit (the previously mentioned) was February 7th, 1.943 when our friend was dead so I think not notated. Interesting is that the Tank Hunter soldier never received a formal citation, just a note in his Soldbuch and Wehrpas and the other Infantry soldier just a preliminar award citation by the germans instead by the romanians (he also received a Bulgarian award and this time he received a formal citation, but in German)
