Description
Interesting grouping to Unteroffizier Fritz Jahreis who was forced to land in Spain with his crew in September 1944. Since Spain remained "neutral" he got a special "Marchbefehl" permission issued by the German embassy in Spani on 7.9.1944 allowing him to travel back to Germany.
 
Certificate to Air Gunner Badge and an unusual document welcoming him to "Uffz.Vereinigung der 3. Bordf.Ausb.-Kompanie Erfurt".
Furthermore his blue "Luftgaupostamt Paris issued Luftwaffe ID.
 
A very nice Deumer made Air Gunner Badge with lightning (stunning patina, maker marked, zinc) and his 1939 Iron Cross 2nd Class (unmarked Friedrich Orth made example).
Both in nice condition 2.
 
An interesting grouping in good condition.
