The second proposal from his unit (by telex ?) is not handed down. No notice for proposal-proceeding by HPA was made, no file card (for the second proposal) ever existed. In the book "Verliehene Ritterkreuze" Domaschk made a supplement (first segment, # 5102. But the second segment begins already with the number 5100, this is confusing too). Domaschk passed the proposal possibly to General Maisel. But both (Maisel and Domaschk) were not authorized to award after the surrender.
