awardin ek 2 and ek1 on the same date ?

[Stijn David]

Hello,


I have a question => would a double award on the same day increase the value of a award document grouping ?

Let me be a little clearer => i have been offered a document grouping towards a Art. Uffz. who was awarded both the iron cross 2 nd and 1 e class on the same date !!!!!!!

I ask because i have absolutely no problem with the proveniance + originality but would like to know

This was something i have heard of before but have never seen in the flesh until now, and i guess a person had to do some strange and extrordinary brave things to receive them both on one day !!!!

Greetings,

Stijn,

Here is a scan from a wehrpass to a member of Inf. Regt. 120 (mot) with the EK2, EK1 and Silver Wound Badge awarded on the same the same day. He suffered a severe wound on 22nd July 1941, I assume at the same time he won his awards.



Cheers,
Gary.

I would say definitely more interesting with "all on one day!"

Stijn,
I have a few that fall into this catagory but it depends when, where he got the awards, what specific action and also what unit he belonged to in my opinion ..is this the Art.Rgt. 183 guy?
I have one for example who received both EK's 14.5.1940 as a Beobachter with Kgr. 100 during the Narvik campaign which I do like, another both EK's (undated but written as though awarded same day i.e. EK II u. I) for France...this would have been nice having known the date..nice but Infanterie......and a K-Verbande Officer who received both awards 29.4.1945....the EK I is then cacelled (gestreichen) then added again with the same date!
At the time of buying these items the fact that they were awarded these awards on the same day did not enter into the price....these days people are trying to get money for anything..signatures, awards and a pair of mouldy underpants (camo of course!).

Cheers, Ian

Hello ,


Whel here are the newest babies in the collection => indeed as suspected due to my previous question here are the award documents from the Uffz. from the Art.Rgt. who won both EK's on the same day.

And quite nice ( for me !!!! as a Cholmfreak ) is that both ek documents are signed by my favorit German general : THeodor Scherer

Are there persons who can put me in a direction if there does exist books ( mayby REgiments or Divisional History's where it woul be possible to read about the battles of this particular Regt. or Division ? )

Greetings and enjoy,
