Gew44 Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 During World War II Germany used the system of military districts (German: Wehrkreis) to relieve field commanders of as much administrative work as possible and to provide a regular flow of trained recruits and supplies to the Field Army. Present a different font and is pre stamped the Wehrkreis and the signature is hand made from General der Infanterie Albrecht Schubert chief of this district between 21. August 1943 - Sommer 1944 and 2nd time 20. Juli 1944 - April 1945. The General recived Ritterkreuz on 17. September 1941
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Hi, Wehkreis issued EK docs are usually for me who were seriously wounded and repatriated to a hospital in the wehrkreis. Regulations allowed an automatic award of an EK2 to men qualifying for a silver wound badge. This was done irrespective of a brave act. So the Wehrkreis commander could automatically make the award without having to contact the unit to find out if the award was warrented. Best Chris
