Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Franz Hofbauer. Oberfeldwebel Franz Hofbauer (25.03.1921 † 11.02.1994) earned the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on January 20, 1944 as Feldwebel und Zugführer and the Nahkampfspange in Gold on June 28, 1944 as Oberfeldwebel und Zugführer in the 3. Kompanie/ Divisions-Füsilier-Bataillon 72 of the 72. 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.
