Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Josef-Georg Mulzer. Major Josef-Georg Mulzer (15.04.1915 † 21.01.2011) earned the Ritterkreuz on September 7, 1943 as Major und Kommandeur of the Pionier-Bataillon 195 and the Eichenlaub on January 10, 1944 as Major und Kommandeur of the Pionier-Bataillon 195 of the 95. Infanterie-Division.

Knight’s Cross: “Major Mulzer fought with his Pionier-Bataillon in the sector of the 95. Infanterie-Division during the fighting for the Orel salient in mid-1943. In this time he and his men cleaned up numerous Soviet penetrations via energetic counterattacks and, on one occasion, he recaptured a commanding height in an attack launched on his own initiative. Mulzer would receive the Knight’s Cross for these actions.”

Oakleaves: “Near the end of 1943 the Pionier-Bataillon 195 occupied a defensive sector west of Bobruisk. Following an artillery barrage the Soviets attacked this sector with significant forces on a broad front. With his last reserves, namely soldiers from his staff as well as some drivers, Major Mulzer was able to eject the Soviet soldiers from his position and bring the attack in his sector to a halt. Meanwhile however the Soviets had managed to break through in the right neighbouring sector, and from here they threatened to roll up the whole Division’s frontline. Mulzer quickly recognized this danger and, assembling as many soldiers as could be spared, he launched a flank attack against this new opposing force. After a short but violent battle, the Soviets here fled after having suffered heavy losses. Major Mulzer then threw up a temporary defensive front and was able to hold it against all new hostile breakthrough attempts until the arrival of reinforcements. Through his bravery and decisiveness, Mulzer had thus averted a great danger for the whole German frontline west of Bobruisk. He would thus be awarded the Oakleaves to his Knight’s Cross.”

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.
