norwest78 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 This should be arriving next week. Awarded to Oberleutnant Heinrich Bertsch. Courtesy of Stijn David: "Heinrich Bertsch was part of the 4.(H)/Aufkl?rungsgruppe 23 when he was awarded the DKiG on 24.06.1943" I will also be getting his DKiG document, which I'm posting in the LW Documents section. I'm pretty sure it's a good one, but please have a look.Regards,Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

werner Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Hi Kevin,Really nice ehrenpokal !!!!!!One of the things i really want to have one day.CheersRon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwest78 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Thanks, guys. I never actually thought I'd own one of these, but a stroke of luck/coincidence made it possible: This came up for sale out of an old collection just about the same time I received my end-of-year bonus from work. It was spent before my wife even knew how much it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stijn David Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hello, Very nice Goblet, one of the nicer Lw. awards => congratulations Cordial greetings, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wessel Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I know what you mean. It was not really something that I was looking for but having got one in a swop I will NOT be parting with it. It just feels like quality and I can imagine the pride of the recipient on receiving it.This one is to Unteroffizier Wilhelm Tebbe 10/6/42. I understand he was also awarded the DKG while serving in 11./KG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norwest78 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 Nice one, Wessel! I got some other items belonging to the goblet winner, as well. Unfortunately, the Ehrenpokal award document was not one of them. --Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERIC Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Nice one, Wessel! I got some other items belonging to the goblet winner, as well. Unfortunately, the Ehrenpokal award document was not one of them. --KevinNever give up hope - I've seen (a few times) the documents surface on the market after the rest of the grouping has been sold off. They're difficult to locate, but not impossible! ERIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norwest78 Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 (edited) Yeah, pretty lucky, eh? It turns out that the fellow I purchased the goblet from found the document amongst some other items, several months later. So he sent it to me. Free of charge.
