Eicke Signed Citation Grouping

**hucks216** · 07-01-2009, 02:47 PM

This little grouping has just arrived - three citations are from (or relate to) the soldier's WW 1 service while the 4th citation was awarded to him while serving as a SS-Rottenfuhrer with a repair unit of SS Division Totenkopf and has the ink signature of SS-Gruppenfuhrer Theodore Eicke (the date on the citation corresponds with the fighting around Demjansk) .

correct

this looks better than the one we spoke about, cropped ones always seem to hide something to me, this looks very fluent/flows etc, the other one compared to this may be ok, but id prefer this one

Thanks for the comments guys. I almost missed this grouping on the dealer site as I was distracted by a Generalleutnant Hoernlein signed citation! Luckily I took another look through the items and saw this one. I now have SS related citations signed by Eicke, Steiner & Phleps.
I will attach a close up of the signature.

At the moment there are a whole host of wehrpasses & soldbucher in 'the pile' that I have to research first but when I get round to it I will post a follow up here.

That one is still in 'the pile' but having had a cursory look I can't see anything outstanding except for the Generalfeldmarshall List signature. I will have to chase up his units to see if anything comes of it.
