Komtur Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
