Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Otto Gemünden. Hauptmann Otto Gemünden (30.05.1914 † 08.12.2007) earned the Ritterkreuz on October 12, 1942 as Wachtmeister und Geschützführer in the 1. Batterie/ Flak-Regiment 49 of the 9. Flak-Division.
“Knight’s Cross for Wachtmeister Gemünden – 21 tanks destroyed in 20 minutes: The Führer has awarded the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross to Wachtmeister Gemünden, gun commander in a Flak regiment, at the recommendation of the supreme commander of the Luftwaffe, Reichsmarschall Göring. Wachtmeister Otto Gemünden, born on the 30.05.1914 in Oberingelheim, distinguished himself through outstanding bravery on the 30.09.1942 during the defense against a heavy enemy armoured attack launched against the lines north of Stalingrad. Through skillful tactical acumen, and while fully utilizing the firepower of his gun, he destroyed 21 enemy tanks in just 20 minutes with 35 rounds. 10 of these were of the heavy American type.”
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.
