"Ehrenurkunde" assault badge 26.Inf.Div.

[arnhem]

Dear all,

Would like to share this grouping which I personally much prefer for its great "Ehrenurkundes" (honour award documents).

I was unaware of its existence and surprised (like many times before) , when it was offered to me years ago.

After being involved in 3 infantry assaults "Unteroffizier" Backhaus participated in 3 and 6 additonal assaults and was awarded for each 3 extra assaults.

It is clearly a special 26.Inf.Div. edition and I wonder what other units issued these great documents?

Hope to see other great examples of this common/fantastic badge!!

hello


mid 1942, 26 I.D. decided to creat a specific doc called Ehrenurkunde. In fact at this time a lot of soldiers still got ISA and had experienced a lot of other fights without real retribution and CCC didn't exist yet.
This item is an award for 3 more fights then 6 fights in total for the soldier, I know one for 6 more fights (9 fights in total);
I've ever seen this kind of doc for another division, but don't remember the whisch one.....

lookuing for all items of the IR/GR 77

26.Inf.Division

Pierre,

Thanks for your interesting contributuion!
Never realised there was a gap between the "Infanterie-Sturrm"award and the "Nahkampfspange".

The shown Soldbuch with "Nahkampftage" or closecombatlist is from "Feldwebel" Hermann Nass who served within Füs.Rgt.39.of the 26.Inf.Div.
