Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Karl-Heinrich Bodenschatz. General der Flieger Karl Bodenschatz (10.12.1890 in Rehau † 25.08.1979 in Erlangen) earned the Verwundetenabzeichen “20. Juli 1944” in Gold on July 20, 1944. Signed on the reverse.

Karl-Heinrich Bodenschatz was a German general who was the adjutant to Manfred von Richthofen in World War I and the liaison officer between Hermann Göring and Adolf Hitler in World War II. The photo is signed on the reverse, the signature seen on the front is in the print and not hand signed. During World War II he was the liaison officer between Hitler’s headquarters and the Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe until he was seriously injured in 1944 by the 20 July plot bomb at the Wolf’s Lair headquarters in Rastenburg, East Prussia. He was fortunate to survive the explosion as two officers immediately to his left and one to his right were killed. (Read more on Karl-Heinrich Bodenschatz (Wikipedia))

 

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.
