Bernhard Frank – Obersalzberg (Arrested Hermann Göring, Obersalzberg – Berchtesgaden)
€0,01Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo & Letter of Dr. Bernhard Frank. SS-Obersturmbannführer Dr. Bernhard Frank (15.07.1913 † 29.06.2011) was an SS Commander of the Obersalzberg complex who arrested Hermann Göring on April 25, 1945 by order of Adolf Hitler, who had been manipulated by Reichsleiter Bormann into believing Göring was attempting to usurp the Führer’s authority. Frank placed Göring under house arrest but ignored later orders to execute the Reichsmarschall.
Frank was reportedly one of the few Schutzstaffel officers inducted into the rites at Wewelsburg Castle, and after the war claimed that he had arranged the eventual surrender of Berchtesgaden (where Hitler’s mountain residence, the Berghof, was located), to prevent needless damage to the Berghof. He later wrote a 144-page book entitled Hitler, Göring and the Obersalzberg.

Karl Nicolussi-Leck – SS-Panzer-Regiment 5 “Wiking”
€0,01Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Karl Nicolussi-Leck.

SS-Panzer-Division “Wiking”. Large size: 18,7×18,2cm.
Karl Nicolussi-Leck was the commander of a Panther company in the 5. SS-Panzer-Division “Wiking” during its efforts to relieve the trapped garrison at Kovel in March 1944. On the 27th of that month, with the German relief efforts still in progress, Nicolussi-Leck received an order to halt all offensive actions. By this point he was in radio conduct with the garrison, and felt that its relief was of the utmost importance. He thus told his radio operator to send a reply stating that he (Nicolussi-Leck) could not be found, and with that continued the push to the town. Three days later, following difficult fighting, he was able to reach the trapped garrison with seven tanks on the early morning of the 30th. By doing so he was able to substantially reinforce the garrison’s defences, and he remained with them until Kovel was finally relieved for good. His recommendation also says that he destroyed 17 tanks in the process, although it is possible this number is for the whole company. Either way, Nicolussi-Leck’s actions were judged to be worthy of the Knight’s Cross, and he received this award shortly afterwards. (Source: Traces of War)

Paul Becker – Artillerie-Regiment 3 (Stalingrad)
€0,01Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Paul Becker. Unteroffizier Paul Becker (21.03.1918 in Düren † 29.11.1992 in Düren) earned the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on October 25, 1942 as Obergefreiter und Richtschütze in the 10. Batterie/ Artillerie-Regiment 3 of the 3. Infanterie-Division.
Knight’s Cross: “Obergefreiter Paul Becker had already destroyed 28 enemy tanks during the heavy combat near Kalatsch, and for this he was awarded the Iron Cross First Class. During the battle of Stalingrad he significantly contributed to the successful defense against enemy counterattacks through his personal bravery and decisiveness. The Bolsheviks commenced a furious attack with strong infantry forces that had the support of numerous tanks. Their aim was to break through the German blocking position to the north of the city. Obergefreiter Becker persevered throughout the fierce hostile fire while serving at his gun, and in the heavy fighting he destroyed 13 enemy tanks (most of which were heavy types). He smashed local enemy infantry penetrations with well laid fire. Thus, within a short time, Obergefreiter Becker destroyed a total of 41 Soviet tanks and decisively contributed to the great successes of his Division.”
