I always wonder what means the numbers sometime found in citations on left down corners, I think were the order number of the awards and the year, but are they from the Division, or for the regiment and are restricted to Iron Crosses or to other awards also?
I have two Wehrpass from 1 Panzer Division, first to a member of the Panzer Regiment 1 awarded the EK II on June 1st, 1.940 numbered 433/40 and the Panzerkampfabzeichen in silver on July 1st, 1.940 numbered 854/40.
Second to a member of Panzer Regiment 2 awarded the EK II on June 20th, 1.940 numbered 544/40 and the Panzerkampfabzeichen in silver, undated and unnumbered.
Your opinion or knowledge is welcomed, what are this and which period of time were used.
Thanks
