German Cross Award document- any opinions?

[John W. Krueger]

I would sincerely appreciate any opinions as to the authenticity of this German Cross preliminary award document. It comes from a long-time collector of Third Reich items.

In ,,Das Deutsche Kreuz 1941-1945 Band II Klaus Patzwall / Veit Scherzer we see:



which is much more like the truth, even taking into account the fact that the designation of 11 means: ,,Keine Karte im BA".
