If I read it correctly, that was the plaque whereby Hermann Göring in his capacity of the Reichsminister for Aviation and the Highest Commanding Officer of the Luftwaffe congratulated the JG 53 officers (all of them?) on their promotion of 19 July 1940 - no doubt based on their performance from the beginning of the war until the end of the French campaign, where JG 53 emerged as the most successful Jagdgeschwader overall. Real or fake? It is just hard for me to tell.
