Original Postwar Signature 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.
