Showcase: Document Group of a EK16 (Me 163) Engineer

Hi there!
Today, I am back with a real rarity. And I not only show these items to you but I also offer them (either in trade for Me 262 related documents or for sale):

Document Group of a Erprobungskommando 16 (Me 163) Fliegerstabs-Ingenieur

A Wehrpass, an award certificate for Kriegsverdienstkreuz mit Schwerter II Klasse and collar tabs of a Fliegerstabs-Ingenieur of Erprobungskommando EK16 which tested the world's only rocket fighter Messerschmitt Me 163. Heinrich Kröger was promoted to Major while with Erprobungskommando EKdo16 in January 1945. There is also an entry in the Wehrpass that says that he got familiarization flights with rocket aircraft stamped by EKdo16. He was for more than 5 months with Flugzeugfuehrerschule (pilot training unit) Oldenburg where he learned to fly aircraft. This is a unique document from one of the most interesting Luftwaffe units in the war. If you know more about Heinrich Kroeger or if you are interested in the group, please contact me via LWCollector@gmail.com
