Sonderwausweis – Van Gülich – Luftkommando XI Hamburg – Iron Cross 2nd Class Entry – Very Rare ! (Sold)
Description
Edith van Gülich was a Post helper in Luftgaukommando XI Hamburg.
The ID is fairly common for woman essential workers, although the entry:
E.K.II / 45
It is the first and only ID for a woman who won the Iron Cross I have had or seen.
How? Woman were awarded such medals, and in her case it was highly likely it was for bravery during an Allied Bombing raid on Hamburg in early 1945.
