Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Friedrich Rögelein. Oberst Friedrich Rögelein (26.06.1910 in Bietigheim † 25.03.1999) earned the Deutsches Kreuz in Gold on November 17, 1941 with Infanterie-Regiment 109, the Ritterkreuz des Eiseren Kreuzes on January 7, 1944 as Major und Kommandeur of the I. Bataillon/ Grenadier-Regiment 109 and the Eichenlaub on April 14, 1945 as Oberst und Kommandeur of the Grenadier-Regiment 109 of the 35. Infanterie-Division.

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.
