This one looks like a post mortem award to a Luftwaffe officer (pilot?). Notice how it's addressed to his father, not to the officer himself. The recipient was likely dead by the time this medal was awarded. 

 

Nice find!!!

Yes, indeed, death date reported as 3.5 months earlier almost to exact date of the document.  Had death card [no photo], cannot find it now.  Do not recall other awards other the 1st & 2nd class Iron Cross + another foreign [Romanian or Croatian?] decoration.  Bulgarian & other award certificates not with what you see--got only imaged things with paper carefully folded inside case.  These collected in Munich {!} in 1986 at flea market from vendor who had no other related items.  Should have noted that seal of the unit 'fortuitously' torn off along with possible second seal or related stamp upper right corner.
