EK 1914 EK II 1914 with document for a dentist

[Komtur]

This awarding document for an Iron Cross 2nd class 1914 is in my opinion interesting in some points.

At first it is given to a dentist. This "rank" is not often to be seen on these documents. I would like to know, what kind of heroic action was the reason for this award. May be he kills the pain of his commander . I like the plain design of this paper.

A second amazing thing is the watermark, it seems the document is printed on the enemies paper

[Komtur]

At last the Iron Cross, that comes with this awarding document is a fine example. There are no marks on it.

With regards, Komtur.

He may actually have been a dental reconstruction surgeon, providing plastic surgery type triage for facial wounds.

Sorry, but I?m afraid my English or my knolwedge of the EK is not sophisticated enough to understand what you mean

Komtur,

Ulsterman is wondering if your Dentist would have been awarded the HK (Hindenburgkreuz) f?r Nichtk?mpfer oder X (mit Schwertern) f?r Frontk?mpfer
