Original and matching WWII German Kriegsmarine award document group belonging to Matrose Friedrich Döring, consisting of two award certificates issued in 1942.

The first document is the Besitzurkunde for the Kriegsabzeichen für Minensuch-, U-Boots-Jagd- und Sicherungsverbände (War Badge for Minesweeper, Sub-Chaser and Escort Vessels), awarded on 7 October 1942. The certificate bears the Kriegsmarine eagle stamp and period signature of the commanding officer of the 5. Sicherungsdivision. Signed by Kapitän zur See Arnold Bentlage.

The second document is a Besitzzeugnis for the Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz (Black Wound Badge), awarded on 26 October 1942 following a wound sustained on 11 September 1942. The document is issued to Mtr. I Friedrich Döring of Dienststelle M 20899 and retains its original unit stamp and signature. Signed by Korvettenkapitän Karl von Hoff (DKIG!).

Both documents remain in honest wartime condition with age-related wear, folds, foxing, staining and handling marks consistent with their age and service history. The pair forms an attractive and historically interesting Kriegsmarine document grouping, especially as the wound badge certificate was awarded only weeks after the Minesweeper War Badge certificate.

A desirable original Kriegsmarine award document set to a named sailor who served in the German naval security and minesweeping forces during the Second World War.
