Uffz.Heinz Gehrke,Wound Badge

Hi all

February 22,1945:
That day,Uffz.Gehrke is shot down (Fw.190D-9,wn.500096 yl 1) by S/L D.C.Fairbanks (274°Sq).

Seriously injured and burnt,he remained in hospital until November 1945.

IN AUGUST 1945,he was awarded the Wound Badge in Silver for five combat injuries.

My Question.
WHICH(german?) authorities have handed him this decoration??....in a Germany administered by the "Allies"??? very strange!!

Michel
