"Waffen-SS" citation set - Pz.Gren.Rgt.38 / 17.SS-Pz.Gren.Div."Götz von Berlichingen" - Ballnus

"Waffen-SS" citation set of "SS-Oberscharführer" Waldemar Ballnus who served within the "Schutzpolizei" and finally within Pz.Gren.Rgt.38 of the 17.SS-Pz.Gren.Div."Götz von Berlichingen"

1) A4 size promotion document to "Oberwachtmeister der Schutzpolizei" which bears the stamped signature (most probably) of "Generalmajor der Polizei" and "Kommandeur der Schutzpolizei" ?

2) KvK I Kl. citation which has issued because of his heroic action on 3-4-1945.

Ballnus participated in fightings at the "Ostfront" and "Invasionsfront"!!

Never seen before a citation which has been signed by all three divisional ,regimental and battalion commanders!!
The "divisional" commander is most probably Josef Bäurle (DKiG 20-1-1943)

Although the citation has been in 4 parts (and has been professionally restored with acid free restoration tape) a great and rare signed citation!!
