1946 grunwald badge small doc, again same unit stamp, again father's name removed.
1946 "For Oder Niesse, Baltic Sea" medal temporary doc. Same unit, same damage.
1968 "To the Meritous on the Field of Glory" silver Medal doc - gives the base date same as awarding date - strange, as he definately had his wartime one in 1946 already. It's either a replacement doc with wrong date or he got another one, but nothing seems to indicate that. It is possible that he got this one as his tank was among the first to get into the center of the town of Błonie during it's capture (he mentions this episode in a later document), but that is a speculation.
