Anton Benning – Jagdgeschwader 301 (Stalingrad & 28 Victories!)
€0,01
Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Anton Benning. Leutnant Anton Benning (15.05.1918 in Hakenberg † 29.09.2013 in Recklingshausen) earned the Deutsches Kreuz in Gold on January 1, 1945 with Jagdgeschwader 302 and the Ritterkreuz des Eisernes Kreuzes on April 13, 1945 as Leutnant und Staffelkapitän of the 1. Staffel/ Jagdgeschwader 301.
As a transport pilot flying the Junkers Ju 52, he took part in supplying the Stalingrad pocket in early 1943, before retraining as a single engined fighter pilot with Jagdgeschwader 106 (JG 106). Benning was credited with 28 victories (inc. 18 four engined bombers, of which 3 were RAF Lancasters), all on the Western Front.
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.
