€30,00
Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Card of Wilhelm Walther. Oberstleutnant Wilhelm Walther (27.01.1910 in Dresden † 25.11.2010 in Leimen) earned the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on June 24, 1940 as Oberleutnant und Stosstruppführer in the 4. Kompanie/ Baulehrbataillon z.b.V. 800.
Wilhelm Walther was awarded his Knight’s Cross for capturing a strategic bridge at Gennep during the assault on the Netherlands. Leading an 8-man team disguised as Dutch military police escorting German prisoners, they made their assault seizing the bridge and disabling the detonators.
