Michael Wittmann postcard

[jacquesf]

This might be a really dumb question, but I could not find any answers by way of a search. Where there any official Wittmann postcards? Like that of Kurt Meyer or the Luftwaffe aces. If so would anyone care to share? Jacques

I've collected Willrich RKT postcards for many years and, to my knowledge, there is not a genuine Wittmann postcard extant. Wittmann did do a portrait as shown above, but it was never produced in period postcard form.

If you have one, I would ask you scan the front and the back for us to see. I'm prepared to see something I've never seen before, but I need to see high resolution scans.

Ramon, I've never seen an original either., That scan is from a Bender's pub.

Do think it"s a fabrication?

The portrait shown is just that, a portrait. It is not a postcard.

Steve, thank you for the picture. It is actually strange that a nice portrait of Wittmann is so hard to come by. Jacques
