Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Kurt Launer. SS-Standartenführer Kurt Launer (19.09.1906 † 05.02.1990) earned the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on Augustus 15, 1943 as SS-Sturmbannführer und Kommandeur of the II. Bataillon/ SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Regiment 6 “Theodor Eicke” of the 3. SS-Panzer-Division “Totenkopf”.
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.
