Original Scarce Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Philipp Lichtenberg. Kapitänleutnant Philipp Lichtenberg (09.09.1908 † 14.12.1993) earned the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzeson March 31, 1945 as Kapitänleutnant und Leitender Ingenieur of U-516. Condition as seen. NOTE: The inkt is all blue however my scanner turns much of the inkt into black!
“Lichtenberg was on one occasion able to restore his heavily-damaged U-Boat to a state where it was once again capable of diving after exerting himself to the fullest.” (Read more on Philipp Lichtenberg (Uboat.net)).
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.
