Hello !

Nice document of a very interesting Division !

The 342. Inf.-Div. had a very hard time in August 1943.
I have posted a very similar document, issued just 6 days earlier,
with some photos and a few additional infos, maybe it's interesting for you :

Fantastic Archi,thanks so much for that.

So you own the Ekii citation and photo album to the guy! So sad when a photo album stops like that,do you know for sure if he was KIA! I received info on Walter Woll from member "Yubari" in the thread so I know he was KIA less than a month after he received the Ekii.

Interesting to match up the signatures of Albrecht Baier also.

Kind regards to you and your family

Hello Ross !

I was really surprised when I saw this EK 2 document, because it was so similar ! (also very close in date !).
That's why I posted only the direct link to the topic, which included the award doc, which was perhaps misleading.
It is only that the photos stop in ~mid 1943, "my soldier" was lucky and survived.

The whole thread is a bit longer, perhaps you find some more infos :
