Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Siegfried Gerke. Leutnant Siegfried Gerke (30.04.1917 † 09.10.1998) earned the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on December 2, 1942 as Leutnant und Zugführer in the 3. Kompanie/ Panzer-Pionier-Bataillon 16 of the 16. Infanterie-Division.
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.
