Hugo Primozic – Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung 667 (Eichenlaub)

Original Postwar Signature on a Wartime Postcard of Hugo Primozic. Oberleutnant Hugo Primozic (16.02.1914 † 18.03.1996) earned the Ritterkreuz on September 19, 1942 as Wachtmeister und Zugführer of the 2. Batterie/ Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung 667 and the Eichenlaub on January 25, 1943 as Oberwachtmeister und Zugführer of the 2. Batterie/ Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung 667. Good condition. Ritterkreuz: “Awarded for destroying 45 enemy tanks during the fighting in the central sector of the Eastern front. Of these, Primozic destroyed 24 in just one day (15.09.1942) and in doing so was able to prevent an enemy breakthrough.” Eichenlaub: “Awarded for bringing his total of tanks destroyed to 60. During a counterattack on 11.12.1942 he destroyed 7 tanks in one day.”   Provenance: This signature comes from one of the largest postwar signature collection I’ve ever commissioned. This collection was started by a Waffen-SS Veteran, Werner H., in the 1950’s until he passed away.
