Posting this preliminary award document before I move it to the e-stand. Document is for a DKiG to Oberfeldwebel Friemelt, a member of the Kradschutz Bn 160 awarded on 27 Oct 42. Auto pen signature is of Keitel.
The 160th was part of the 60th Inf Div which was encircled at Stalingrad and destroyed there in early 1943.
The actions for this DKiG most likely occurred in Sep '42 when the 60th Inf Div was involved in blocking positions on the isthmus between the Don and Volga rivers. He is mentioned in the Army Daily Reports on 4 Nov 42 with 5RKTs and 16 other recipients of the DKiG.
