Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Hermann Balck. General der Panzertruppen Hermann Balck (17.12.1893 in Danzig-Langfuhr † 29.11.1982 in Eberbach) earned the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on June 3, 1940 as Oberstleutnant und Kommandeur of the Schützen-Regiment 1 of the 1. Panzer-Division, the Eichenlaub on December 20, 1942 as Generalmajor und Kommandeur of the 11. Panzer-Division, the Schwertern on March 4, 1943 as Generalleutnant und Kommandeur of the 11. Panzer-Division and the Brillanten on August 31, 1944 as General der Panzertruppen und stellvertretender Führer of the 4. Panzer-Armee.
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.
