U-Boot group

[Peter J]

As a part of a group, here's a document I need help to dicypher. At the right top it reads 1926, but the lower right reads 1935, as well as the comment with pencil 16,5 1935. How could a document that apparently was printed 1935 end up with a reference to 1926?

Hi Peter,

looks as right as rain... all 1926 but with a penciled note from 1935?

All the best

Chris

[Peter J]

That's right Chris, but what about the printing at the extreme lower right?

[dond]

Can't read the printing in the lower right corner.

[Peter J]

Don, it reads: 1935 26 IIa 4

Din 476 A1

Hi,

i dont think that is a date, just a coincidence that it looks like it...

[dond]

Perhaps a form number then?

[Chris Boonzaier]

Perhaps a form number then?

I agree, This IS a self authenticating document ;-)

I like it.

[Peter J]

Chris, you just couldn't resist, right? I appreciate the feedback guys and I wasn't really worried about the aunthenticity, merely curious about this coincident. For your viewing pleasure, here are the rest of the docs.

Veeeery nice indeed... I have a couple of U-Boot EK1s, but I dont have a group like this!!!

Great find indeed!!

[Peter J]

Thanks Chris. I'm sure you'll enjoy these too

Great group, especially with the awards! I think the pencil note on the first document reads something like: Fr. Kr. a. 16.5.35 This could be short for Frontkämpfer Kreuz (Ehrenkreuz für Frontkämpfer / Hindenburg Cross) awarded to him on the 16.5.1935.

I think that's a very plausible assumption, thanks
