Exceptional Paratrooper Document Grouping to Gefreiter Wilhelm Preute-Preute was a paratrooper who participated in the 1940 Holland jump! The grouping consists of the following:

1) Large award document issued to Preute in Berlin on 7 September 1938; document is signed by Oberst (Colonel) Karl Barlen (German Cross in Gold Recipient); when Barlen signed the document, he was a Section Chief in the Personnel Office of the Air Ministry (RLM);

2) Award document for die Medaille zur Erinnerung den 1. Oktober 1938 mit Spange (Medal in Remembrance of 1 October 1938 with Clasp), commonly known as the Sudetenland Medal. Document was issued on 20 June 1939 and is signed by Oberstleutant von Grazy, the Battalion Commander of the 1st Battalion of Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 1;

 3) Large award document for the Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz (Wound Badge in Black) issued to Prete in Munster in July 1940. As a member of the 1st Company of Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 2, Preute jumped in Holland on 10 May 1940 (along with the 2nd and 4th Companies of Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 2, the 1st Company was deployed to take control of the Ypenburg and Valkenburg Airfields near den Haag). The document is signed by Hauptmann Hans Kroh, the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 2 (Kroh was a recipient of the Knight's Cross, Oak Leaves, and Swords, as well as the German Cross in Gold). Kroh was one of the most renowned paratrooper commanders; much information about him can be found on the internet;

4) Award document for the Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse (Iron Cross 2nd Class) issued to Prete in den Haag on 26 May 1940, just six days after the Holland jump. The document is signed by Generalmajor Karl Putzier, the Deputy Commander of the 7 Air Division (German Cross in Silver Recipient); 5) Award document for the Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse (Iron Cross 1st Class) issued to Preute in den Haag on 26 May 1940. This document is also signed by Generalmajor Karl Putzier; it's interesting to note that both Iron Cross documents were issued on the same day, demonstrating his exceptional performance on 10 May 1940;

6) Large award document for the Verwundetenabzeichen in Gold (Wound Badge in Gold) issued to Preute in the Luftwaffe hospital in Berlin on 26 August 1940. The document is signed by Dr. Hans Kitzler-Kosch, the Chief Medical Doctor of the hospital. The fact that Preute was awarded the Wound Badge in Gold shows that he was heavily wounded during the 10 May 1940 jump in Holland. This wound most likely caused severe injury, likely leading to an amputation, taking Preute out of the war. Documents for paratroopers who jumped in Holland on 10 May 1940 are extremely rare and sought after. A rare opportunity to acquire a remarkable document grouping for a paratrooper who fought with extreme bravery and was heavily wounded during one of the most notable paratrooper jumps of the Second World War.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.

delightful read
Format: Kindle
What a delightful read. The characters are awesome, the plot was so good, I loved it. I was intrigued and it kept me wanting more. Told in multiple pov, the book sucks you in and doesn’t let go. I cannot wait to read the next book.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger
