FOR VALOUR Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 This came with an iron cross, can anyone help decipher please. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 It is the award document. A vorläufiges Besitzzeugnis is a "preliminary award certificate". For awards like the Iron Cross, this was sometimes the only document the recipient got, as the sheer number of awards and the exigencies of war made issuing formal certificates less common.
