This one is fake.

How do i know? Well apart from the poor typewritten format and the incorrect signature, the originals to this soldier are in my collection

Simon,

This is something I've never seen before in all my years of collecting--admittedly though I've never had much interest in documents. But I'd be very interested in knowing the story on these post-war EKII documents.

Kind Regards,

You're in luck, i wrote a thread on the subject a number of years ago.

I agree that these are interesting documents and Simon did a great job over the years of elaborating on them. But, yep, this one is junk.

Both docs have been published prior to them coming to me. For example Niemann's price guide.

Simon,

Thank you for kindly posting the link. That was a fascinating read and something I'd never encountered before. It's always great to learn a new chapter in WWII history.

Oh my god that was surgical .

thank you for the link.

[Yubari]

thank you not just for saving my money on the document but also on outstanding research you done in past on that topic.

I have personally minesweeper RK grouping, while RK was awarded based on Donitz decree few days after the war. I was hoping to add some related item to my collection when I saw this document I hoped to add it to my collection so much.
