Chris Boonzaier Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Here is a nice Wehrpass with the Bewährungsabzeichen des V. Armeekorps entered... I assume he was then told it did not count because in a later awards entry it is left out..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for interest's sake here's an award document for this award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Thats probably just at the time where they were being banned... will check when I get home when the Wehrpass was issued... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
