I was researching two groups I have for officers from two different Panzer Artillerie Regiment and found in the Frank Heukemes book regarding the GAB that it was on September 1.944 when the award of numbered GAB was extended to members of the Panzer Artillerie units.
Is this point true?
It makes sense to me as both received directly the III Grade skipping the II and both after this date and one of them was credited with 25 Sturmtäge in January 25th, 1.944, but not received the "50" GAB till November 27th, 1.944 after being credited with the 50th day on August 26th, 1.944. The other received the "50" GAB on May 7th, 1.945.
Thanks
