EK 1939 EK II document awarded in Africa

[Bob Lyons]

Hi all,

I just picked this document up a few days back, and I thought I would post it here, and see if there was any other information about it, than what

I already have.

Gefreiter Karl-Heinz Naumann was in the Panzer-Artillerie Regiment 155, which was a part of the 21st Panzer Division, and obviously was awarded

his EK II on the 5th of August 1942.

What I think makes this interesting, is that it was signed by the Division Commander, who was at this time Generalmajor Heinz vob Randow, who was

only briefly the commander, as his vehicle hit a mine in December of 1942 which killed him, this happened near Tripoli, in Libya. Some sources say that

the mine was layed by the British LRDG.

Any other info would be great...

Cheers

Bob
