WWII Nazi SS Werner Hahn Presentation Plate
Werner Hahn was the commander of the 24th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS "Karstjager" though the division was only up to brigade level strength. The mountain troops of this division were mostly volunteers and saw most of their action in Italy and later Austria. Werner Hahn would lead the brigade from 1943 to February 1945 in anti partisan activities in Northern Italy. This presentation plate was gifted to him on November 11, 1944. Engraved on the plate is his rank, name, and date of presentation. The SS runes are also engraved in a curved swastika above his rank. The manufacturer's mark is engraved near the edge of the plate. Plate has seen use and could use a good cleaning. Included is some information on Werner Hahn and his military career as well as information on the silver marking. See photos.
