Re: Gruppe Feurstein
It is indeed very nice. I believe it was awarded to the soldiers of Gruppe Feurstein who participated in a forced march from Fauske towards Narvik to rescue Dietl's troops in the battle of Narvik in 1940.
On May 4th 1940 General Feuerstein’s 2nd Gebirgsjäger Division started marching 350 miles North from Trondheim to relieve Dietl’s 139th Gebirgsjäger Regiment isolated in Narvik, fighting Allied troops at various points along the way.
I hadn't seen one of these documents before and now I have seen 2 in the space of a month!
