Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Josef “Sepp” Brandner. Major Josef “Sepp” Brandner (01.09.1915 † 06.06.1996) earned the Deutsches Kreuz in Gold on September 14, 1943 with Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung 202, the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on March 17, 1945 as Hauptmann und Kommandeur of Heeres-Sturmgeschütz-Brigade 912 and the Eichenlaub on April 26, 1945 as Major und Führer of Heeres-Sturmgeschütz-Brigade 912.
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.
