HASSO VON MANTEUFFEL
(1897-1978) Commander of the 5th Panzer Army which spearheaded the ill-fated Ardennes offensive of January 1945. After vainly requesting more help from a vacillating Hitler, he spoke despairingly of "a corporal's war". Later served as a delegate to the Bundestag (1953-7). Post-war I.S.P. adding rank as "General of Panzertruppen 9ret.) Nov. 1943", 8" x 10" b/w, a fine candid shot showing him commanding his men from the turret of a tank, boldly signed in blue ink. Fine.

Estimate: $150 - 200.
