What a great collection ... thank you for sharing, Jason! Is there a page two for the above document (with the other decoration dates)? I do wonder, if the death place was Potsdam (document) or Berlin? Do you happen to know if the Imtiyaz and Liyakat Medal are in Gold? Thank you! Andreas P.S. I would love to see the picture from the 1930s. P.P.S. I have a short question about "Heinz". Danskernes Historie Online has him as Heinrich "Heino" Zachariae ... do you happen to know how he signed? Heinz or Heino? Thanks!
