TOP Normandy & Ardennes Offensive Grouping – Soldbuch, Award Docs Pz.Gren.Rgt.2

Exceptional Normandy & Ardennes Battlefield Grouping – Gefreiter Michel, 2. Panzer-Division

An outstanding and rare original Soldbuch grouping belonging to Gefreiter Michel of the elite 2. Kompanie / Panzergrenadier-Regiment 2, 2. Panzer-Division — a frontline soldier who saw fierce combat in both the Battle of Normandy and the Ardennes Offensive.

This historically rich set includes:

• Soldbuch complete with original photograph

• Award document for the Iron Cross 2nd Class (EK2), personally signed by Freiherr von Lüttwitz

• Award document for the Panzer Assault Badge in Bronze, signed by Walter Brassart

• Two additional wound-related documents, including for injuries sustained from a phosphorus grenade during the Ardennes campaign

Michel was promoted to Gefreiter on July 1, 1944, during the Normandy fighting, and awarded the EK2 on July 4, 1944, followed shortly by the Panzer Assault Badge for the same period of engagement. His severe wounding in December 1944 during the brutal Ardennes battles adds further gravity to this exceptional set.

A powerful and complete frontline grouping—ideal for serious collectors of Eastern and Western Front memorabilia, Panzer history, or Normandy-Ardennes campaign material. Rarely do such documented and well-signed sets come to market with this level of authenticity, provenance, and historical depth.
