Or did the Nazi time travel Bell actually work?!!

Would we have expected to see an SS symbol or the like on this card or is that a more modern thing? Serious question btw, I know nothing about these.

By mid-1944 (August) he was already "SS-Oberst-Gruppenführer und Panzer-Generaloberst der Waffen-SS".

I have to double-check with my manuscript for the biography when he obtained the rank of "Panzer-General der Waffen-SS".

Gents -

For those still interested in real history:

From the manuscript of my biography on Sepp Dietrich:

QTE
On May 6, 1943, the left wing of Armee-Gruppe-Süd (Army Group South) together with the Armee-Gruppe-Mitte (Army Group Center) was ordered to take offensive action and to close the Belgorod-Orel pocket. A month later Heinrich Himmler proposed to Hitler to promote Sepp Dietrich to the rank of Oberst-Gruppenführer der Waffen-SS. Due to the fact that Dietrich was not to lead an Armee in the near future and had only been a divisional commander until recently, Hitler was against such a promotion however. Instead he honored Dietrich with the unique rank of “SS-Obergruppenführer und Panzergeneral der Waffen-SS” on June 23, 1943.

The promotion document for “SS-Obergruppenführer und Panzer-General der Waffen-SS” includes the additional note: “The Führer has awarded this service title to you as the oldest active tank soldier of the German Wehrmacht at the front.”

In my opinion - it's a (on 99,99%) fake.

Hi,
first warning is mainly too many features and titles on this visiting card. 4x ᛋᛋ means 4x more $ for fakers.
All high-ranking Nazis or SS generals used much simpler and abstemious text on their business cards or on letterhead papers.
