EKII certificate 2nd Panzer Division

[Marcel Banziger]

Hello,

I have this EKII document to Unteroffizier Richard Bauer from the 3rd Panzer Grenadier regiment of the 2nd Panzer Division. The document is signed by Generalleutnant Vollrath Lübbe, who received the Ritterkreuz in 1943.

Since I am not familiar with documents I would like to know if this document and moreover the signature are real?

Thanks for any help

Sorry - for several reasons I do not like it from the scan provided (paper, stamp and other details). I cannot comment on the signature itself.

Regards Sonenwende

I have no problem with it. The document is probably Kursk/Orel related as 2. PD. was attached to 9. Armee at the time.

Nice original doc.
The scanner light is not the best for the documents...

[Marcel Banziger]

Thanks for your comments gentlemen! Much appreciated! I have to admit the scannerlight changed the look a bit of the document and in reality it looks old and the paper yellowish. My biggest questionmark was the signature since for me it is hard to see the difference between an original and a fake.

Best regards,
Marcel
