An order, that my grandfather got from the company Focke-Wulf for his employment for the FW 190 in 1941. The note means: " Oblt Behrens, In grateful appreciation for tireless fruitful grumbling."

Elos pointed me to this thread, have to say it is the most fascinating thread I've ever come across. How could I have missed it?

Thank you Larry for sharing all that with us! Truly amazing!

This thread is for the history books. I love how it gets uncovered nearly every year by someone new!
