1 july 1943 German Cross in Silver. Anyone has the data upon motivation for this award ?

The attached document from Himmler to Berger mentions something about it ("Sie sich um die Ergänzung und weltanschauliche Erziehung der SS und Polizei, sowie insbesondere um die Gewinnung der volksdeutschen und germanischen Freiwilligen erworben haben, das Deutsche Kreuz in Silber verleihen hat").

thank you very much Fred.
that's exactly I was looking for.
in personal files I've upon Berger no one upon awards.
Ken A. Parker in "Die Träger des Ritterkreuzes zum KVK der Schutzstaffel" mention B. obtain his awards "Für seine Verdienste um die Führung des SS-Hauptamtes" .
Can you confirm ?

Best

The attached document from Berger's Personalakten seems to have the same information.
