The Max William's book about Heydrich is worth looking at.

Interesting to see and just shows how difficult it is to try and tie an award down to any specific action. The date of an award could be the date it was signed, typed up or could be backdated to the day of the action it was issued for and there's no real way to determine which one it is.

The second signature is that of Hans Mirow.

From Chris Kelly: "Two interesting Urkunden to the same recipient. Does anyone know anything about the two admirals who endorsed them?" The first signature is Theodor Kranke -
