An award certificate, measuring 144x208mm, very fine condition with folding creases, minor rips, and repair work on the reverse. The recipient is NCO Walter Kretschmer of the 5th Battery of Artillery Regiment 16 (L), receiving the award due to him being wounded on July 18, 1944. The document is dated to July 25, 1944, and signed in pencil by a Fleet Doctor and Chief Medical Doctor of the Kriegsmarine Military Hospital in Paris, the signature is indecipherable.

Footnote:The L in Artillery Regiment 16 (L) stands for Luftwaffe, since it used to be Luftwaffe Artillery Regiment 16, which was then redistributed to the army in late 1943 and renamed. It was established in the Netherlands and subsequently used to try and repulse the Allied invasion of France. It was destroyed on August 4, 1944.
