Hello. I have some questions regarding the SS doc lot selling at the E-Stand:
http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/FORU...d.php?t=493898
1. The Long-Service-Award doc is for a "SS Gruppenführer" which is a Generals rank at the "Allgemeine SS" (05. Oct. 1940).
2. The "IAB doc" is for a "Unterscharführer" (01. April 1941).
3. Six months later (03. Oct. 1941) he is awarded the medal "Oct. 1938" as a "Rottenführer".
All those documents had been awarded to a "Fridolin Riegel".
1. How can he be a "Gruppenführer" (= Generalleutnant WH) in 1940?
2. How can he be a "Unterscharführer" in April 1941 and a "Rottenführer" in October 1941? A "Rottenführer" ranks lower than a "Unterscharführer"!!!
The documents seem to be absolutely authentic. Has someone an explanation for all this?
P.S.: I have informed the seller about this thread.
Regards
