Germany, Heer. A I Class Ostvolk in Silver Award Document to R.O.A. Captain Baldur Badendieck
Measuring 147x210mm, better than very fine with light scuffing and creasing. The certificate is named to Hauptmann (Captain) of the Reserve Baldur Badendieck in the Sapper Detachment of Army Staff R.O.A (Russian Liberation Army). It is dated to February 10, 1945 and signed in blue ink by Lieutenant General and Commander-in-Chief of the R.O.A, Andrei Wlassow (Andrey Vlasov). Judging from his name, Badendieck himself is German and not of “Eastern” ethnicity, so he was awarded the decoration for leading an “Eastern” unit. A requirement for receiving the Ostvolk Medal 1st Class was the prior receiving of the Iron Cross 1st Class.
