GeorgeCL Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 My newest EBay purchase.Nice photo portrait of President Von Hindenburg with detication to a Josef Deicker, Morbach.I cant read the German script. Its hand done with an original late Hindenberg Signature.Hindenberg and his wief were removed from there cript at Tannenberg by the nazi's before the Russian overran and destroyed Tannenberg.The two coffens were later found by U.S. GI's in a salt mine. These were again later inturned in a church in Morbach. A city Hindenberg was an honorary citizen.George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
