Chris Boonzaier Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Over the years I have often tried to float the thought that the simple Ehrenkreuz has a hidden reservoir of fantastic signatures. Think of it... 1934-35... the party was pushing their own people into public office all over.. I had just had this thought again today, and as fate would have it, this was the very next doc i fished out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hucks216 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 The Ehrenkreuz is indeed an underrated source for signatures (until this thread anyway!) and a lot of the time the dealers don't do their homework when it comes to these humble documents, presumably thinking that no-one of note would possibly sign them.That example of Helldorf that you have posted is a great example and I have also seen such citations bearing hand signed signatures of Guderian, von Brauchitsch and Dollmann to name just a few.
