Re: My Imperial Group of EKII, SWB and Hindenburg Cross.
Very nice my friend Strange about the potential 'weiss' overwrite. By the way, Unteroffizier is not an officer rank. It is the lowest NCO-rank and for the Germans it meant corporal in practice. Some people that don't know their German ranks lists for instance a Gefreiter or an Obergefreiter as a corporal which is completely wrong. An Unteroffizier is an Unteroffizier ohne Portepee.

In my research I have never come across information on a white Verwundetenabzeichen. Strange.

Gentlemen, see here for a concise explanation and rank list, for Senior Privates/NCO's in the Imperial German Army, A Pocket German Army look under section "articles by Glenn Jewison". ... donkihotis, a super set ! I concur with both Kenneth and Paul as to the explanation regarding "weiss" on the award document.
Prost ! Steve.

Hi Paul your observation is correct. The erased word has an ''s'' at the start. Maybe it was schwartz, maybe it was silber. The thing is who would erase it? If you see it suspiciously and think it was made by a forger then why didn't he use the silber word to look more convincing? Or maybe he was so unaware that there weren't any white badges and considered this badge to be white? But on the other hand the doc it self looks original, it would be easy to find another badge to put it together.
I don't know it's really confusing.
