Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Engelbert Bockhoff. Oberstleutnant Engelbert Bockhoff (17.05.1913 in Stadtlohn-Ahaus † 26.01.2010 in Köln) earned the Deutsches Kreuz in Gold on December 26, 1941 with Panzer-Aufklärungs-Abteilung 57 and the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on November 18, 1943 as Hauptmann und Kommandeur of the Panzer-Aufklärungs-Abteilung 9 of the 9. Panzer-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.
Soldbuch of Oberschirrmeister Heinrich Safer, born in Wien. He served with the Aufklärungs-Regiment 9, Kradschützen-Bataillon 59 and Panzer-Aufklärungs-Abteilung 9 of the 9. Panzer-Division. He earned the Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse mit Schwertern, Ostmedaille & Kraftfahrbewährungsabzeichen in Silber. Comes with his Erkennungsmarke! Complete but loose pages. 9. Panzer-Division is an interesting division, especially fighting in Normandy and the Ardennes!
