    Hi Stewy, cool GD doc. At least you have one from that Division ;-)) Me, all I have are two photos of some of the GD guys taken @ Kursk, and a nice pair of Oberleutnants boards for the 1st Panzer Battalion-who also were @ Kursk ;-)) These I got from a major insignia collector from Europe and these are to a guy who became an RKT, and these were acquired directly from the family ;-))

    Hi Guys

    Here is one of mine, this one does not state silver or bronze...Stewy knows more about this kind of paper work than I do. I will let him elaborate on it.

    Best Regards, fischer

    I like these less "official-looking" docs. It's great none the less.

    Nice East Front service. No surprise he didn't last long enough to get a CCC.

    Great docs Mate. The computer lost my first post but, here is a little of what I added.

    Part of the 121st ID, was mobilized in 1940, was in action on the Leningrad front fighting at places like Lake Ladoga, Mgo and I think Pskov? They stayed on the northern part of the E/Front the entire war and retreated through the Baltic States-Latvia and ended up in the Kurland Pocket. Their last Commander was Oberst Ranck-the mans whose sig is on your doc- but I know you already knew this mate ;-))
