Great documents, Andreas.

I think you and Chris, and some other members, should prepare a book about EK awards docs. That would be great to read.

I can only add two promotion documents of Kapitänleutnant Rudolf Andler, commander of U 98, one signed by the Kaiser. SM U-98 was one of the 329 submarines serving in the Imperial German Navy in World War I. U-98 was engaged in the naval warfare and took part in the First Battle of the Atlantic. He was awarded with the iron cross 2nd class on Jan 8 1916.
