A Mint Bronze Grade Infantry Assault Badge Award Document to SS-Sturmmann August Haas

This is a mint late war (1945) award document for a Bronze Grade Infantry Assault badge, presented to SS-Sturmmann (SS storm trooper) August Haas. It is signed by Heinz Harmel on January 6th, 1945 at the division command post (Divisions-Gefechtsstand), and features a Waffen-SS Frundsberg stamp seal. It measures 149 mm x 210 mm and is in mint condition without obvious signs of wear or aging.

Footnote: Haas served in the 14th Battalion of the SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Regiment 21 (SS Mechanized Infantry Regiment), part of the 10th SS Panzer Division “Frundsberg”. In late 1944, the division fought at the River Rur front near Linnich, north of Aachen. Most likely, this is where Haas qualified for this award. At the time it was lead by SS-Brigadeführer and Major General of the Waffen-SS Heinz Harmel. Heinz Harmel (1906–2000) was a recipient of the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords. He fought in the Battle of France, the Balkan Campaigns, in Russia during Operation Barbarossa, and in Normandy. For his achievements in the fight against the Allied forces during Operation Market Garden in the Netherlands, he was awarded the Swords.
