Description
Description
A certificate, measuring 210x149mm, near mint condition with folding crease. The recipient is SS-Sturmmann Otto Bäuerle, serving in the Signals Detachment 7 of the 7th Volunteer SS Mountain Division “Prinz Eugen”. He rescued the troop’s horses during a fire caused by an enemy attack. For this he is awarded the Bronze Bravery Medal on January 30, 1944. The document is signed in blue crayon by SS-Oberführer and Division Commander, Otto Kumm, who had just taken control of the unit and been promoted on that very day.
Footnote:
Otto Kumm (1909–2004) was an SS-Brigadeführer and Major General of the Waffen-SS, and a recipient of the Knight’s Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords. He was born in Hamburg. After finishing school, he worked as a typesetter. In late 1931, Kumm joined the SS. In 1934, he became part of the 1st Battalion of the SS-Standarte “Germania” in Hamburg. However, in 1936 he had moved to Munich and commanded the 2nd Company of the SS-Standarte “Deutschland”. Kumm participated in the attack on Poland, and later in the one on France, in the SS-Standarte “Der Führer”. A Battalion leader by 1941, Kumm was sent to Yugoslavia with the SS Division “Das Reich”. In July he took over the SS Regiment “Der Führer”, an unlucky regiment, as it turned out: They were tasked with holding a vital position during the Battle of Rzhev in January of 1942. Of the 2,000 men that Kumm led, only 35 survived. For successfully holding the position, Kumm was awarded the Knight’s Cross. In 1943, Kumm led his regiment in the Third Battle of Kharkov, earning him the Oak Leaves, but gave up his command and briefly returned to Germany, before being tasked with leading the 7th SS Volunteer Mountain Division “Prinz Eugen” in early 1944 in the fight against Bosnian partisans, for which he was awarded the Swords in March of 1945. After the war, the division was charged with several war crimes. Kumm was never tried. He died in 2004 in Offenburg.
