Original document group of Oberleutnant Egon von Ploetz, who in 1937 served with the Reiter-Regiment 4. If I searched correctly, he eventually became a Rittmeister (Hauptmann). The large promotion document is signed by Reichskriegsminister Werner Freiherr von Fritsch! Comes with 3 documents (with signature of von Fritsch), a large portrait (printed signature) and a press photograph.
Thomas Ludwig Werner Freiherr von Fritsch (4 August 1880 – 22 September 1939) was a German Generaloberst (full general) who served as Commander-in-Chief of the German Army from February 1934 until February 1938, when he was forced to resign after he was falsely accused of being homosexual. His and War Minister Blomberg's ousting, in the Blomberg-Fritsch affair, was a major step in Adolf Hitler's establishment of tighter control over the armed forces. Just over a year later, before the outbreak of World War II, Fritsch was recalled as Colonel-in-chief of the 12th Artillery Regiment. He died in battle in Poland early in the war, the second German general to perish in that conflict after Wilhelm Fritz von Roettig.
