Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Theo-Helmut "Theobald" Lieb. Generalleutnant Theo-Helmut Lieb (29.11.1892 † 20.03.1981) earned the Ritterkreuz on February 7, 1944 as Generalleutnant und Führer of the XXXXII. Armeekorps and the Eichenlaubon February 18, 1944 as Generalleutnant und Kommandierender General of the XXXXII. Armeekorps. Good condition.
Eichenlaub: Awarded for his further achievements during the battle for the Cherkassy pocket. Especially during the breakout from the pocket he would show great bravery and energy. He collected a Bataillon of stragglers from the Korpsabteilung B and the 5. SS Panzer-Division “Wiking” and broke through a Soviet armoured group south of the road Potschapinzy-Lissjanka. With his horse Lieb then swam over the Gniloi-Tikitsch and reached safety at Lissjanka. For his role in this battle he would be christened the “Lion of Cherkassy” and be awarded the Oakleaves directly from Hitler himself.
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.
