Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Kurt Brill. Major Kurt Brill (19.01.1916 in Otterberg † 25.05.1978 in Otterberg) earned the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on July 4, 1944 as Major und stellvertretender Führer of the Grenadier-Regiment 956 of the  362. Infanterie-Division.

Awarded for his actions at the Anzio front on the 29.05.1944. On this day the Allies achieved a 1.5 km deep penetration into the frontline of Brill’s Kampfgruppe, which was located on the western wing of the 362. Infanterie-Division. The II./Grenadier-Regiment 1060 (without 1. Kompanie) was dispatched to the area, and Brill used it to cut off the penetration at its base by rolling up the trenches there. The Bataillon made contact with the eastern wing of the 3. Panzergrenadier-Division just as the Allies resumed their attack from the outside, and the soldiers that had been cut off by this maneuver were either killed or captured in the area atop and south of the Cenaro hill on the 29.-30.05.1944. Major Brill would be recognized appropriately for this tactical victory.

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.
