The thick paper stock binder has the award embossed in the center of the front page . I placed the award next to it ,--sorry the swastika is in the dark portion !

The last page , page 15 , in the booklet gives the actual award number as Nr.667576 and is dated 15.August 1939. Note : They mis-spelled his name as Kaesten instead of Kasten !

Last on page 14 : He had to march 25 km with a 12 1/2 kg backpack and he did it in 3 hours and 45 Min. I though it was very interesting to find out what they had to do to earn these sports awards . Hope you enjoyed this presentation ! Bernd

Bernd, very nice document & award lot you found! Agreed, it is always interesting to learn just what they did for that little piece of metal! Helps provide a greater understanding of what sort of commitment was made to earn these type of awards. I know I wouldn�t be excited about performing that last one!
