Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo (Attached with photo corners on a Postcardsize Card) of Günter Halm. Leutnant Günter Halm (27.08.1922 † 26.09.2017) earned the Ritterkreuz on July 29, 1942 as Grenadier und Richtschütze in the Pakzug of the Regimentsstabskompanie/ Panzer-Grenadier-Regiment 104 of the 15. Panzer-Division. Smaller as Postcardsize.
Knight’s Cross: “Awarded for his actions at El Alamein on the 21.07.1942. On this day his Pak was attacked by a large Allied tank force (probably the 23rd British tank brigade). The battle opened with his gun shield being badly damaged and the no. 2 loader being wounded. Another hit smashed the gun’s sights. However the gunner, Halm, did not lose his nerve as the hostile tanks got closer. With deadly precision he destroyed 7 Allied tanks in a short time, including a command tank. More tanks were destroyed by the other German defenders, with 96 allied tanks being destroyed in the battle on this day altogether.”
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.
