Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Hellmut von Leipzig. Leutnant Hellmut von Leipzig (18.07.1921 in Keetmannshop, Namibia † 24.10.2016 in Windhoek, Namibia) earned the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on April 28, 1945 as Leutnant und Zugführer in the Panzer-Aufklärungs-Abteilung “Brandenburg” of the Panzergrenadier-Division “Brandenburg”. Postcardsize. Condition as seen.

Leipzig was born in South West Africa, son of a naval officer. In 1941, he volunteered for the Afrika Korps. He became driver to Generalfeldmarschall Erwin Rommel, whom Leipzig describes as “the craziest passenger ever”, because he always said “Faster!” and when encountering an enemy’s minefield, would insist on going and personally guiding Leipzig around the mines. Leipzig fought in the “Battle of Berlin”, became a POW in 1945 and spent 10 years in Soviet captivity.
