Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Werner Damsch. SS-Hauptsturmführer Werner Damsch (22.07.1918 † 07.11.1994) earned the Ritterkreuz on April 17, 1945 as SS-Hauptsturmführer und Kommandeur of the I. Bataillon/ SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Regiment 25 of the 12. SS-Panzer-Division “Hitlerjugend”. Good condition.
Ritterkreuz: Distinguishing himself as a Bataillon commander during the Battle of the Bulge. He achieved particularly notable success on the 03.01.1945. On this day he led a Kampfgruppe composed of the remnants of the I. and II./SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment 25. With help from the divisional Panzer-Regiment he succeeded in capturing the village of Mageret and Hill 510, the latter being located just to the west of the village. He was later wounded on the same day at 19:00 by an artillery strike that badly injured both of his legs.
Provenance: This signature comes from one of the largest postwar signature collection I’ve ever commissioned. This collection was started by a Waffen-SS Veteran, Werner H., in the 1950’s until he passed away.
