Hi Sensei,
I don’t like the stamp, to me it looks typical of the kind on repro/fake documents and there is no authorising signature.
Here is some information on Res.pol.btl.83
Polizei-Bataillon 83
Polizei
83.RES.POL.BATL - Einheiten der Polizei und des SD - Forum der Wehrmacht
Plus by the date on the document, the camp had been shut down.
- In the face of the quickly advancing offensive of the Red Army, preparations for liquidation begun at the camp. In March 1944, the Concentration Camps Inspectorate ordered the evacuation of KL Lublin
.
- The final liquidation of the camp took place on July 22, 1944. A column of 800 prisoners was marched out of Majdanek
Liquidation of the camp
Nothing but a fake. Unit designation is wrong, stamp is awful, lack of signature hints at the faker not having a clue who should be signing it, framed to prevent a proper inspection and why would anyone in a KZ be awarded a combat award in 1943?
My eyes are getting worse, I read the date on the document as 4th May 1945 í ½í¹„
Sorry about that Sensei.
gotta be ever vigilant!
