Original award document set of Unterapotheker Helmut Roos, who served with the Kradschützen-Bataillon 2 and Sanitäts-Park 581. The documents include the Medaille zur Erinnerung an den 13. März 1938, the Erinnerung an den 1. Oktober 1938 and Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse mit Schwertern! Most interestingly the KVK2X is signed by Generalmajor Eduard Wagner.
Eduard Wanger became a conspirator against Hitler. When Claus von Stauffenberg sought approval for an assassination attempt on 15 July 1944, Wagner was cited as being definite that the assassination of Hitler should be attempted only if Heinrich Himmler was also present. On 20 July, Wagner arranged the airplane that flew Stauffenberg from Rastenburg back to Berlin after the bomb that was believed to have killed Hitler had exploded. After the failure of the coup attempt, Wagner feared that his arrest by the Gestapo was imminent and that he might be forced to implicate other plotters. He committed suicide by shooting himself in the head at noon on 23 July 1944. (Source: Wikipedia)
