Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Hans-Joachim Löser. Hauptmann Hans-Joachim Löser (04.04.1918 in Weimar † 13.02.2001 in Prien) earned the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on January 20, 1943 as Hauptmann und Kommandeur of the III. Bataillon/ Füsilier-Regiment 230 of the 76. Infanterie-Division. He earned the Ritterkreuz during the Battle for Stalingrad!
During the fighting for the Stalingrad pocket in the winter of 1942/43, Hauptmann Löser especially distinguished himself for his defense of a German main dressing station at Rossoschka. For this he would be decorated with the Knight’s Cross. Hauptmann Löser was severely wounded during the Stalingrad siege and was evacuated on the last flight to leave Stalingrad.
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.
