Named DK In Gold
This Deutsche Kreuz in Gold was found at the estate sale of a retired WW2 U S Army officer years agoMEDALS 015.jpgMEDALS 016.jpgMEDALS 001.jpg. On the rear lightly enscribed is "K Werner, Feldwebel, Russland, 12.2.1943. I have never found a corresponding name and date in the list of DK recipients. Possibly, the date listed in reference material is that of the engagement the decoration was being awarded for and the date on the back is the actual date of award and receipt. The enscription is put in lightly with a punch and hammer. It is definitely period to the badge. I wonder who the recipient was.
