Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo (Small Photo, two extra unsiged photos) of Paul “Papa” Hausser. SS-Oberst-Gruppenführer und Generaloberst der Waffen-SS Paul Hausser (07.10.1880 † 21.12.1972) earned the Ritterkreuz on August 8, 1943 as SS-Gruppenführer und Kommandeur of the SS-Division “Das Reich”, the Eichenlaub on July 28, 1943 as SS-Obergruppenführer und Kommandierender General of the II. SS-Panzer-Korps of the 2. SS-Panzer-Division “Das Reich” and Schwertern on August 26, 1944 as SS-Oberst-Gruppenführer und Oberbefehlshaber of the 7. Armee for achievements during the Battle of Normandy.

Hausser served as an officer in the Prussian Army during World War I and attained the rank of general in the inter-war Reichsheer. After retirement, he joined the SS and was instrumental in forming the Waffen-SS. During World War II, he rose to the level of army group commander. He led Waffen-SS troops in the Third Battle of Kharkov, the Battle of Kursk and the Normandy Campaign. Hausser was the highest-ranking officer in the Waffen-SS alongside Sepp Dietrich. Unlike Dietrich, Hausser was a trained staff officer before joining the SS. (Read more on Paul Hausser (Wikipedia)).

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.
