Historical Description
The Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse mit Schwertern (War Merit Cross 2nd Class with Swords) was instituted in 1939 and awarded to military personnel and civilians who rendered distinguished service connected to the war effort outside direct frontline combat. The addition of the crossed swords denoted wartime service performed under potentially dangerous or combat-related conditions.
This original award document was issued to Obergefreiter Arnold Schartmann on 31 July 1943. The document bears the official service seal and signature of the acting commanding general within Wehrkreis VI, one of the military administrative districts of wartime Germany.
Printed in the characteristic wartime Gothic script style, the document remains an interesting and historically representative example of German Wehrmacht award paperwork from the Second World War.
