A noted tank commander who became something of a cult figure after the war, Wittmann is known for his ambush of elements of the British 7 th Armoured Division during the Battle of Villers-Bocage, 1944. An extremely rare dark fountain pen ink signature ( 'Wittmann' ) on a very small oblong 12mo piece, evidently neatly clipped from an official document. Lightly mounted to the base of an A4 sheet of paper featuring a reproduction image of Beck in a head and shoulders pose wearing his uniform and Knight's Cross. Autographs of Wittmann are extremely rare in any form as a result of his death at the age of 30 during combat in Operation Totalize, August 1944. VG
