Gottfried Tornau – Sturmartillerie-Brigade “Großdeutschland”
€0,01
Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Gottfried Tornau. Hauptmann Gottfried Tornau (25.07.1914 † 28.04.1981) earned the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on March 5, 1945 as Hauptmann und Führer of Sturmartillerie-Brigade of the Führer-Grenadier-Division “Großdeutschland”.
Tornau won his Knight’s Cross for actions at Nantikow (Pomerania), where he led a counterattack against a large Soviet armoured attack. He and his men halted the hostile offensive and thereby allowed thousands of wounded soldiers (as well as civilians) to flee west.
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.
