Original Item. Only One Available. This is a lovely signed photo post card of the legendary German field commander, Generalfeldmarschall Erwin Rommel. It measures 9cm (3.54in.) by 14cm (5.51in.), the standard size used during WWII in Germany, and is signed Rommel across the bottom. We have examined the postcard thoroughly, and the color, type of paper used, and the type of photographic process used, which produces a metallic sheen in areas, are indisputably correct for the WWII Period.

It is definitely a professionally printed postcard, and the reverse is marked with Nachdruck verboten (reproduction prohibited). We have also examined the signature on the front of the post card, and it is a definite match for that of Erwin Rommel, which is well-known and easily researchable. There is even a printed out enlarged version to compare to the signature on the photo, which can be hard to see. It looks to have been signed by some type of marker, and there are variations in the color due to how well it adhered to the front of the postcard. We see no reason to doubt that this signature is 100% correct and authentic.

A great chance to pick up a great signed Photo Postcard of "The Desert Fox", one of the most legendary field commanders of WWII, who would later be involved with 20 July Plot Unternehmen Walküre (Operation Valkyrie) assassination attempt of der führer. We have not had any Rommel material before, and it is highly sought after!

Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel (15 November 1891 – 14 October 1944), known as The Desert Fox (Wüstenfuchs), was a German Generalfeldmarschall (field marshal) during World War II. He served in the Wehrmacht of National Socialist Germany, as well as in the Reichswehr of the Weimar Republic, and Imperial German Army of the German Empire. He had acquitted himself very well during the first world war, receiving the Pour le Mérite award, and would become one of the most well-known German field commanders during WWII. His book on Infantry Tactics was highly influential, and he was working on a similar book for Tank Tactics when he was forced to commit suicide following the attempted assassination of Adolf H. He was extremely well regarded by his contemporaries on both sides of the war, and was also very popular with the German people.
