€25,00Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Siegfried Freyer
Wachtmeister Siegfried Freyer (11 February 1917 – 10 May 2014) was a German panzer officer in the 24. Panzer-Division and a recipient of the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes. He earned his Knight’s Cross on 23 July 1942 as Wachtmeister und Zugführer of 4. Kompanie/ Panzer-Regiment 24 for his extraordinary bravery during the heavy urban fighting at Voronezh.
Knight’s Cross Action
On 7 July 1942, during close-quarter fighting in the streets of Voronezh, Soviet armored units attempted to break through the encirclement ring of Freyer’s Kampfgruppe. Acting on his own initiative, Freyer led his platoon in a counterattack and personally destroyed 10 Soviet T-34 tanks in the span of just half an hour. His decisive intervention prevented a breakthrough, stabilized the frontline, and directly enabled the occupation of the city. For this exceptional act of bravery and leadership, he was awarded the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross.

Collector’s Note
Klaus Feldt’s career represents the elite echelon of Schnellboot commanders, men whose daring raids earned them top decorations. His combination of the Ritterkreuz and Eichenlaub places him among the Kriegsmarine’s most successful fast-attack leaders. Signed items from Schnellboot officers are notably scarcer than those of U-boat commanders, making this a particularly desirable piece.
