A Luftwaffe “Deutsches Kreuz in Gold” award certificate to Oberleutnant Christian Kalauch. The original document was issued on January 12, 1943, but was lost, with this being the replacement document issued on March 1943. It is signed by a Captain and Flight Commander of the Aufklärer Gruppe Staffel 2 towards the bottom, with the matching seal towards the bottom left. The document measures 214 mm x 305 mm, slightly wrinkled and previously folded, in better than very fine condition.
Footnote: Christian Kalauch was awarded the Honour Goblet of the Luftwaffe while serving as an Observer with the 2./Aufklärer Gruppe 12 (2./ Reconnaissance Group 12). Although details of his service history are unknown, the 2./ Reconnaissance Group 12 was posted 100 kilometers east of Moscow in Kusnezy.
