Peter U found this for me (tks Peter!). A complete grouping for Rudolf Kick, including his Soldbuch and ID disc and his wife's ID (Kennkarte). His original Wehrpass was lost in North Afrika I imagine, so his award documents for his bronze infantry assault, black wound badge, and EKII and EKI were likely lost with that. He has a replacement Wehrpass and the award documents he received after North Afrika, which are his Afrika cuff title and wound badge in silver. Peter is helping me with the translations and what it all means, but Rudolf was promoted about six times and won the EKII and EKI at the same time, on June 30, 1942, 10 days after the fall of Tobruk, so these awards were for the Tobruk action. I believe he was wounded at El Alamein.
