Nikolaus von Falkenkorst – XXI. Armeekorps – Norway (Wartime Signed)

Original Wartime Signature on a Postcard of Nikolaus von Falkenhorst. Generaloberst Nikolaus von Falkenhorst (17.01.1885 † 18.06.1968) earned the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on April 30, 1940 as General der Infanterie u. Kommandierender General of the XXI. Armeekorps and the Deutsches Kreuz in Silber on January 20, 1945. Condition as seen. Postcardsize.

Ritterkreuz for: “…With unstoppable forward drive, German troops have established a land connection between Oslo and Trondheim. Thus the Allied aim to bring us to our knees through an occupation of Norway has now definitively failed. Units of the Heer, Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe have brought us this victory through exemplary cooperation, a victory which is a testament to the audacity of our young German Wehrmacht… Through me the nation speaks its’ thanks. As a sign of this appreciation I am awarding the Knight’s Cross to the Supreme Commander in Norway, General von Falkenhorst.”
