Scarce and Interesting late war Award Document set (Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse and Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz) of Herbert Wittig, who was a soldier with the Nachrichten-Abteilung 344 (of the 344. Infanterie-Division, which was destroyed in Normandy) and later on with Nachrichten-Abteilung 1180 (of the 180. Infanterie-Division, which was erected in the Netherlands to counter the Allied forces of Operation Market Garden near Arnhem and kept on fighting in the Netherlands until late 1945, where it was finally destroyed in the Ruhrkessel).

  • The Iron Cross 2. Class Award document, awarded on October 8th, 1944, was likely awarded for the Battle of the Scheldt! After it’s destruction in Normandy, the remnants fought their way through Belgium (Antwerp, Maria-ter-Heide) up to the Netherlands. The document was signed by Generalmajor Eugen Felix Schwalbe (KC, DKIG and DKIS ! Only officer to be awarded the DKIG and DKIS with the same unit!)
  • The Wound Badge in Black Award document, awarded in April 1944, was most likely awarded for a wound suffered in the Ruhrkessel.
