As I have very limited knowledge on these award documents I would be very grateful if you could advise whether they are genuine or not.
Many thanks in anticipation

"In all my years as a soldier, I have never seen men fight so hard." - SS Obergruppenfuhrer Wilhelm Bittrich - Arnhem
Ahem...12 month militaria embargo?
The right one appears to be concocted into an SS Document with contrived signature and stamp to sex it up , certainly a Gruppenfuhrer would not be commanding such a unit , this of course casts doubt on the other document which appears to be contrived also !!
The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
Both fakes. The faked signature on the EK citation is, I believe, meant to be that of Hitler's pilot Hans Baur.
Cheers guys! Why does Marc not take them off his site?
