Your document is not original.

The 67. Infanterie-Division did not exist in the Wehrmacht, neither did exist a Infanterie-Rergiment 201.

There was a Feldrekruten-Infanterie-Regiment 201 but it was created in June 1940 and not attached to the imaginary 67. ID.

The date is wrong - German dates are never written in this way

Stamp is fake as well

Sorry

Hi raverick,

I am sorry to tell you that it seems to be a fake-document.

The germans normal write:

Berlin, den 12. M?rz 1940

I also think that the stamping is bad. You cannot check the inside.

Sorry, its a fake!

Regards

Elvis
