PKeating Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 A classic 2nd Class Iron Cross award document for Monte Cassino to Obergefreiter Viktor Wollner of 3./Fallschirmj?ger-Regiment 1. Wollner was a member of the FJR1?s 1st Battalion. The document bears the stamp of 1. Fallschirmj?ger-Division and the stamp signature of the divisional commander Richard Heidrich. It has been folded over twice, indicating that it was carried in the recipient?s paybook. PK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKeating Posted September 22, 2007 Author Share Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) That's a facsimile signature but here's a manuscript version. I think Viktor Wollner probably survived the war as there is nobody of that name listed KIA in 1944 or 1945 or as having died in 1946.

Brian R Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Another facsimile signature from December 1943. Note the Fliegerdivision 7 stamp. PKIt's interesting to see that the Fliegerdivision 7 stamp was being used as late as December - more than 6 months after the division name change.
