Thanks to member Peter J. from Sweden I was able to check these documents by physical examination.
I have had a look at them, and as far as I can see is that they are faked on old paper, but that the paper is different from the original examples I have here myself.
A bit thinner, less quality (even knowing that the paper quality did change in those war years).
And the printing / font (what is done in black ink), looks a bit too shiny.
These documents will fool even the more advanced collectors, they look old, they feel old, they smell old, and they did pass the UV-light test.
These documents are from the 80ties.
The Uboot award document does have a misprint in the lower Iron Cross on the left arm.
Peter J. thank you again.
