Hermann Eggers – Flak-Regiment 64

Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Hermann Eggers. Hauptmann Hermann Eggers (25.10.1914 † 22.04.2006) earned the Ritterkreuz on August 21, 1942 as Hauptmann und Batteriechef of the 3. Batterie/ Flak-Regiment 64. Good condition.

Ritterkreuz: “His inspiring personal bravery and skillful leadership ensured that his Batterie also achieved great successes during the war against the Soviet Union. While serving with a Vorausabteilung on the Kertsch peninsula the Batterie decisively contributed to the smashing of the Bolshevik counterattack on the 09.05.1942. In doing so it heavily facilitated the further battles of the Vorausabteilung and opened the way to Kertsch itself. This great success is in no small part thanks to the unconditional devotion to duty and exemplary decisiveness of the Batterie commander, who was heavily wounded for the second time in this war during the breakthrough of the Parpatsch position.” (Source: Traces of War)
