(1891 - 1945) German field marshal who led German armies against fierce Russian resistance at Moscow and Kursk, threw back Montgomery's attack at Arnhem, and killed himself following his defeat in the Ruhr Pocket. Typed D.S. "Model" in pencil as commander of Army Group B, 1p. oblong 8vo., [n.p..], Mar. 14, 1945. Unusual content: "...the acts described in the recommendation of Oberstleutnant Mokros are part of his regular duties as regimental commander hence I do not agree for these duties to warrant the award of the Oak Leaves...I am not aware of the acts he did [elsewhere]...". Very good. GERHARD MOKROS (1909-1996) would receive his Oak Leaves on May 5, 1945.
