Very interesting grouping to Mechaniker-Maat Werner Schüller serving on Hilfskreuzer Kormoran who was awarded the Auxiliary War Cruiser Badge on 26.10.42 in Australia as a prisoner of war! There are two OBERKOMMANDO DER WEHRMACHT documents (3.3.43 and 12.7.44 dated). One is a promotion document, the other one is an official award document for the Auxiliary War Cruiser Badge with a note that the badge will be handed lever after the war: "Die Auszeichnung ist beim OKM/AMA/MPA hinterlegt, sie wird nach Rückkehr in die Heimat ausgehändigt." Very rare document which we have never had before.
An impressive 1938 dated competition certificate (20km marching), a certificate to the Sudetenland Medal for Schüller serving with Kreuz "Leipzig" and a scarce Memel Medal award certificate. Non of these documents was folded. DIN A4 size. They came in a 1935 dated envelope sent from "II.Admiral der Nordsee".
Five late 1920s, early 1930s sport certificates. All in good condition. Never folded.
A beautiful textbook Memel Medal on a single bar. Very nice condition.
A zinc Auxiliary War Cruiser Badge. Original attached rivet, hinge and catch. Textbook example in good condition. A 1957 miniature lapel pin in excellent condition. Finally two Sport Badge miniatures and a cloth Sports Badge.
Two postwar books:
Muggenthaler, August K.: Das waren die deutschen Hilfskreuzer.
Detmers, Theodor: Kormoran. Der Hilfskreuzer, der die Sydney versenkte.
Schüller´s name is on the Hilfskreuzer Kormoran crew list. We can provide a copy of the original document to the buyer.
