Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Helmuth Schlömer. Generalleutnant Helmuth Schlömer (30.05.1893 in Hausberge † 18.08.1995 in Minden-Lübbecke) earned the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on October 2, 1941 as Oberst und Kommandeur of the Schützen-Regiment 5 and the Eichenlaub on December 23, 1942 as Generalmajor und Kommandeur of the 3. Infanterie-Division. Generalmajor Schlömer commanded the XIV. Panzer Corps in the Battle of Stalingrad.

Oakleaves: “Awarded for his leadership while in command of the 3. Infanterie-Division (mot) during the following battles…
1) The crossing over the Tim (28.06.1942).
2) The defense of the Voronezh bridgehead (07-13.07.1942)
3) The battle in the Don bend (24.07.-10.08.1942).
4) The defense of the northern edge of the German salient at Stalingrad, between the Don and the Volga.”

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.
