€35,00
Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo plus Letter of Wolfgang von Bostell. Oberleutnant Wolfgang von Bostell (25.02.1917 † 10.05.1991) earned the Ritterkreuz on September 2, 1944 with 2. Kompanie/ Panzerjäger-(Sturmgeschütz-)Abteilung 1023 and the Eichenlaub on April 30, 1945 as Oberleutnant und Führer of the 2. Kompanie/ Panzerjäger-Abteilung 205 of the 205. Infanterie-Division. Good Condition.
Knight’s Cross: “Awarded for destroying 11 enemy tanks and 2 self-propelled guns in the area around Modohn on the 11.-12.08.1944.” Oakleaves: “Awarded for distinguishing himself in the Courland bridgehead southeast of Libau, southwest of Frauenburg and in particularly on the 26.03.1945 while southeast of Schrunden. Here he eliminated numerous enemy resistance nests and spearheaded the effort to eliminate a Soviet penetration. This succeeded, with the result that a Soviet regiment was trapped in a tube-like pocket behind the frontline. A portion of these troops broke out, however the remainder were destroyed on the following day.”
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.
