Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse mit Schwertern Award Doc – Panzerjäger-Abteilung 230 (169. Infanterie-Divsion) – Hermann Tittel

Originale deutsche Verleihungsurkunde zum Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse mit Schwertern (Award Certificate for the War Merit Cross 2nd Class with Swords), awarded to Oberfeldwebel Hans Schwappach, serving with the Stab der Panzerjäger-Abteilung 230 (Headquarters Staff of Anti-Tank Detachment 230), on 26. Oktober 1941.

The document bears the handwritten designation of the issuing authority as Generalleutnant und Kommandeur der 169. Infanterie-Division (Lieutenant General and Commander of the 169th Infantry Division). At the time, the division was commanded by General der Artillerie Hermann Tittel, who assumed command on 29 September 1941 and retained it until June 1943. The date and command appointment are consistent with this historical context.

The Panzerjäger-Abteilung 230 was an integral unit of the 169. Infanterie-Division (169th Infantry Division), which was deployed on the northern sector of the Eastern Front during this period.

The certificate retains its official Dienstsiegel (service seal), handwritten signatures and the original award details.

Condition: Good overall vintage condition, with a prominent horizontal fold across the award title, additional creasing, light age-related toning and minor handling marks. The printed text, signatures and official seal remain visible.
