€85,00
Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Hans-Peter Knaust. Oberstleutnant Hans-Peter Knaust (07.08.1906 in Kiel † 22.10.1983 in Kevelaer) earned the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on September 28, 1944 as Major und Kommandeur of Kampfgruppe “Sonnestuhl” and the Eichenlaub on April 17, 1945 as Oberstleutnant und Kommandeur of the Regiment “Knaust”.
Knaust led a Kampfgruppe (battle group) against John Frost’s forces in the Battle of Arnhem (17–26 September 1944) during the Western Allies’ Operation Market Garden, the ill-fated attempt to capture the bridges over the Rhine.
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.
