Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Reinhard Peters. Oberleutnant Reinhard Peters (13.01.1922 † 14.04.1992) earned the Ritterkreuz on February 19, 1944 as Leutnant und Führer of the 4. Kompanie/ Panzer-Regiment 35 of the 4. Panzer-Division. Postcardsize.
Leutnant der Reserve Peters received the Knight’s Cross for actions in early January 1944, where his company fought successfully in the defensive battles around Kalinkowitschi and played a vital role in defending Hill 147. The most important engagement took place on the morning of 6 January, when Peters had to defend the hill with 4 tanks against a large Soviet armoured attack. Peter’s men were able to catch the Soviets off-guard during their approach and destroyed 14 tanks without loss (in fact, only one Soviet tank even returned fire), forcing the rest to retreat.
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.
