    Urkunde kvk2 signature fellgiebel

    HELLO

    An interesting urkunde here is which establishes(constitutes) the continuation of the beginning of my collection which concerns the attack(attempt) of July 20th, 1944 and which follows has my first post on a document of my collection signne by stauffenberg.

    http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=628439

    Here is the presentation of the urkunde of the kriegsverdienstkreuz 2.klaffe of the gefreiten

    Scheuermann Hans of her(it) 15. / ffk-komp.643 who is a member of her



    Mobilmachung-1.1.1940) 3. Feld-Fernkabel-Kompanie 643,
    (27.1.1942-14.7.1942) 3. Eisenbahn-Feld-Fernkabel-Kompanie 643,
    (24.3.1944-6.11.1944) 11.11.1944 1. Kompanie Korps-Nachrichten-Abteilung 44,
    (7.11.1944-Kriegsende) 12.12.1944 3. Kompanie Panzer-Korps-Nachrichten-Abteilung 44.


    The urkunde is everything made ordinary except that it was signee by the General der nachrichtentruppe Erich Fellgiebel



    Through his acquaintance with Colonel General Ludwig Beck, his superior, and then Beck's successor, Colonel-General Franz Halder, Fellgiebel contacted the anti-Nazi resistance group in the Wehrmacht armed forces. In the 1938 September Conspiracy on the eve of the Munich Agreement, he was supposed to cut communications throughout Germany while Field Marshal Erwin von Witzleben would occupy Berlin.

    Fellgiebel was again involved in the preparations for Operation Valkyrie and during the attempt on the Führer's life on 20 July 1944 tried to cut Hitler's headquarters at Wolf's Lair in East Prussia off from all telecommunication connections. He only partly succeeded, as he could not prevent the information of Minister Joseph Goebbels in Berlin via separate SS links. When it became clear that the attempt had failed, Fellgiebel had to override the communications black-out he had set up.

    Fellgiebel's most famous act that day was his telephone report to his co-conspirator General Fritz Thiele at the Bendlerblock, after he was informed that Hitler was still alive: "Etwas schreckliches ist passiert! Der Führer lebt!" ("Something awful has happened! The Führer lives!").

    Fellgiebel was arrested immediately at Wolf's Lair. He was charged before the Volksgerichtshof ("People's Court"). On 10 August 1944, he was found guilty by Roland Freisler and sentenced to death. He was executed on 4 September 1944 at Plötzensee Prison in Berlin

    Very nice set ! I met Fellgiebel's son at a OdR reunion. I believe it was either 1978 or 1981. Tom
