LW grouping: pilot badge, licence and qualification certificate.

 

A very interesting small grouping of documents and cloth pilot badge to a reconnaissance pilot with Fernaufklärungsgeschwader 101 flying Ju88.  Unteroffizier Hans Hahn was injured in a crash in Poland on 21 December, 1943. Included are his original signed pilot qualification certificate and cloth pilot badge (worn and with some moth damage) together with his official pilots licence which details his military service. A very nice and quite scarce grouping.

German War Merit Cross Second Class with Swords.

 

The  War Merit Cross was a civilian award for courage on the home front by non-military personnel – a sort of Iron Cross for civilians. Like the Iron Cross, there were two classes: First Class and Second Class, with this being the Second Class (suspended from a ring by a red, white and black ribbon; First Class awards were heavier and pin-back). The award with swords was the highest level of the Second Class variant. Made from zinc with a bronze wash, this example is in good condition, though it lacks its ribbon.
