Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Kurt Prinz. Hauptmann Kurt Prinz (03.04.1920 † 07.04.2009) earned the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on April 14, 1945 as Hauptmann und Führer of the I. Bataillon/ Grenadier-Regiment 164 of the 62. Volks-Grenadier-Division.
Knight’s Cross: “During the fighting for the Remagen bridgehead, on the 17.03.1945, Oberleutnant Prinz received the order to retake the Großen Ölberg, the highest point in the Siebengebirge. Along with elements of the Kampfbataillon 162 (consisting of troops from the Feldersatz-Bataillon 162), Prinz was able to accomplish this difficult task. After repelling an American counterattack he received and carried out the order to withdraw from the hill. For this action he was awarded the Knight’s Cross.”
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.
