FERDINAND SCHORNER
(1892 - 1972) German field marshal, highly successful during the German campaigns in Poland and the Balkans, commanding the 98th Mountain Regiment. Rare A.L.S. 1p. large 4to., Weser, [n.d. but after 1958], to "Bauer". Schorner, facing charges in Germany for illegally executing deserters, advises that once he recuperates he will continue to cooperate with his case: "...I will continue to fight my hard fight for the historic truth until a victory is won in my case. Should our ways cross, I would like to shake your hand... General Schwab I shall visit as soon as I am in Munich again...". The Germans found Schorner guilty and sentenced him to nearly five years in jail. Fine.
