Original Scarce Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Walter Paul Liebing. Oberstleutnant Walter Paul Liebing (12.08.1912 † 18.10.1998) earned the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on February 2, 1945 as Major und Kommandeur of the Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 23 of the 2. Fallschirmjäger-Division.
Awarded for his leadership of the Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 23 in the area around Nancy. Here his men had a decisive share in defending the Mosel and Meurthe positions as well as the Seille sector, where they helped to fight successful delaying actions which were of great operational significance.
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.
