Nice docs, the double ostmedaille and kvk2 is interesting.

You see these double awards sometimes when a soldier has for example changed units, his old and new units doing double paperwork.

The first KvK citation is signed by eventual Generalleutnant Paul Scheuerpflug.


Here is a list of paperwork related books which covers both citations and soldbucher/wehrpasses, and books that are also useful for collecting such things...

There is also a thread in the Wehrpass section here on the WAF that lists others...

All nice docs. I love "double award" groups. I have 2 with double ostmedal docs. Once in a while you'll see some with double EK 2's also.

best

With regards to the EK II & Silver Wound Badge to Wittgrefe it is highly likely that the EK II was awarded for a severe wounding he received that saw him being awarded the SWB, and possibly eventually discharged from military service.
