We offer for sale this ultra rare item, an awesome period portrait photo of Erwin von Witzleben hand signed by himself. Von Witzleben was one of the main conspirators during "Operation Valkyrie" to kill Adolf Hitler the 20. July 1944!!!

Job Wilhelm Georg Erdmann Erwin von Witzleben (4 December 1881 – 8 August 1944) was a German officer, by 1940 in the rank of Generalfeldmarschall (General Field Marshal), and army commander in the Second World War. A leading conspirator in the 20 July plot in Wolf's Lair he was designated to become Commander-in-Chief of the Wehrmacht in a post-Nazi regime had the plot succeeded. Witzleben was put to death at Plötzensee Prison in Berlin. By Hitler's direct orders, he was hanged with a thin hemp rope (which people who were not from the prison staff called a piano wire) wound around a meat hook, and the execution was filmed. The footage has since been lost
