An exceptionally rare and complete WWII German Kriegsmarine (Navy) KIA Sailor Grouping, consisting of an Iron Cross 2nd Class with ribbon, marked Klein & Quenzer and awarded for bravery in combat; a Minesweeper Award Badge with an intact pin, signifying service in dangerous naval minesweeping operations; a Wehrpass (Soldier’s Service Book) bearing an Admiral’s stamp and signature.

Finding a documented and named set from a killed-in-action (KIA) Kriegsmarine sailor is extremely rare, especially with an Admiral’s signature and matching awards. This grouping offers an authentic and deeply personal connection to a distinguished sailor who served and perished at sea during WW2.
