Knights Cross Album Pages
The album pages pictured below are a few of the many I have created using authentic signed photos. The album pages will normally have one or more photos of the recipient, details about his military career, and the hand-signed photo or document. The signed items are removable, if desired. Each album page comes in a heavy poly holder that is punched to fit a standard 8.5 x 11" or 8.5 x 5.5" ring binder. A padded ring binder in a slip case is available for $35 each.

Multi-Signed
The items below are multi-signed, or signed by more than one individual.
Multi001-$250.00
Dietrich Hrabak - This outstanding photo pictures Dietrich Hrabak returning from a successful mission. Three other aces greet him on landing and all 4 signed this photo. Left to right, Friedrich Obleser (120 victories), Karl Gratz (138 victories), Hrabak in his cockpit (125 victories) and Erich Hartmann - the world's top ace with 352 victories.
- Luftwaffe Jet Fighters - This is a photo of an
ME262 that is signed by aces Adolf Galland and Gunter Rall.
- Luftwaffe Night Fighters - Knight fighter aces Wolfgang
Falk and Hans Joachim Jabs signed this picture of the ME110. Falk is known
as "The Father of the Night Fighters." In June 1940 Falk was called to
Holland to meet with Hermann Goring, Field Marshall Kesselring and General
Ernst Udet and was asked to create the Nachtjagd.
- Luftwaffe Focke-Wulf FW190 Aces - Adolf Galland and
Walter Krupinski signed this photo of a Focke-Wulf FW190 Fighter. When the
Focke-Wulf was first encountered by the Allies over France in 1941 it was
far superior to anything the Allies had. It was faster than any other
fighter in service and had heavier armor. It had two 8.92mm guns over the
engine, two Mauser cannon inboard, and two 20mm guns outboard. It made an
extremely small target and was both smaller and lighter than Allied
fighters. With all of those benefits, it is curious that the Messerschmitt
BF109, with its many shortcomings, was the choice of most of the
Luftwaffe's top aces.
Multi005- $49.00 Luftwaffe Jet Fighters - This photo of a ME262 is signed by aces
Johannes Steinhoff and Adolf Galland
Luftwaffe Jet Fighters - This photo of a ME262 is signed by Adolf Galland and

both Galland and Schoepfel.

signed by Hajo Hermann and Adolf Galland
Multi011 - $225.00 Uboat photo signed by 4 Uboat aces. This outstanding photo of a Uboat in
harbor is signed by 4 aces - Gerd Scharr (sunk 3 ships, Knights Cross
recipient), Adalbert Schnee (sank 24 ships, Oakleaves recipient), Hans Kraus
(sank 8 ships, Knights Cross recipient), and Jost Metzler (sank 11 ships,
Knights Cross recipient). All 4 of these aces died between 1975 and 1990. Individually-Signed - Large Album
Pages The items below are signed only by the subject. The
KC??? numbers are mounted on 8.5" x 11" album pages and the album page
is in a heavy poly holder punched to fit a standard 8.5" x 11" 3-ring
binder. Following these items we have the KCS??? numbers. The KCS
numbers are mounted on a smaller 8.5" x 5.5" descriptive album page that
is in a heavy poly holder punched to fit a standard 8.5" x 5.5" 3-ring
binder. To go directly to the ones on the smaller album pages,

- Gerhard Barkhorn -
Gerd Barkhorn was history's second highest scoring ace with an incredible
301 aerial victories in 1,104 missions. He was awarded the Knights Cross
with Oakleaves and Swords. He and his wife were killed in a tragic
automobile accident in January 1983. This great photo was hand-signed by
Barkhorn.
- Johann Baur - Baur was a World War I ace and after
Hitler came to power he selected Baur as his personal pilot. At that time
Baur was Lufthansa's foremost flight captain. Hitler was so impressed wieh
Baur that he vowed he would never fly with a different pilot. They became
such close friends that Hitler was the best man at Bauer's wedding. He was
captured at the end of the war and spent ten years in a Siberian prison
camp, where he lost a leg to gangrene. Baur died in 1993. This is a nice
photo of Baur with Hitler and is boldly signed by Baur.
Johann Baur - Same as #KC006 except this contains a hand-signed
bookplate rather than the signed photo. This bookplate was intended to be
affixed to copies of Bauer's book that were sold in this country. KC008 - $19.00 Oscar Boesch - Boesch scored 18 victories in some 120 sorties. He was
shot down eight times and wounded several times. Near the end of the war
he collided with a Russian Yak-9 over Berlin and bailed out of his damaged
plane. He was captured by the Russians, but escaped and walked the 1,000
KM to his home in Austria. With his outstanding record, it is amazing that
he was not awarded the Knights Cross. He did receive the Iron Cross 1st &
2nd Class.
- Adolf Borchers - Adolph Borchers achieved 132 aerial
victories in 800 combat missions. He was Germany's 53rd top ranking ace.
This display contains a hand-signed bookplate that was obtained at a
Luftwaffe reunion in the early 1990's. Borchers died in 1996.
- Adolf Borchers - Same as above except this one has a
very nice hand-signed postcard size photo.
KC011 - $39.00 Adolf Borchers - Same as above except the hand signed postcard
size photo is a sepia tone photo.
KC012-A - $19.00 Heinrich Born - was with the 4th Panzergrenadire .Regiment 104,
15 Panzerdivision and a recipient of the Knights Cross. His very unusual
signature results from the loss of his arm near the end of the war. Born
signed many different photo motiefs for us. You can see all of the motiefs
we have by clicking here. See numbers
KCA032 through KCA055.
- Peter "Ali" Cremer - Cremer was a U-oat ace who sunk six
ships and damaged two - including one warship. Towards the end of the war
he was transferred from the U-boat service to the Naval Tank Destroying
Battalion which fought on land against British tanks. As a tank commander
he also received the Tank Destruction Badge. Cremer wrote the best selling
book, "U-boat Commander." This very nice photo was boldly hand
signed by Cremer.
- Leon Degrelle - This hand-signed photo was obtained during a personal
interview in the 1980's. The photo is affixed to a descriptive album page and
the photo can be easily removed without damage to it.. $65.00
- Leon Degrelle - Similar to above except this is a photo
of Degrelle with Himmler and boldly signed by Degrelle. SOLD
- Similar to above except this is a photo of Degrelle
reviewing troops and boldly signed by him in silver ink. SOLD Completed through here
- Hugo Eichorn - Panzer Ace - This is a very nice boldly
signed photo of Hugo Eichorn. He received the Knights Cross in 1943 and
was a member of Wilking on the Eastern Front.
- Wolfgang Falk - Falk was a WWII German ace, but his real
claim to fame is that he was the father of the German nightfighters. This
is a bookplate signature that was obtained from him at one of the annual
German Luftwaffe annual reunions. I met him and had a long visit at the
2003 reunion. $29.00 Adolph Galland
The next few signed photos are from my
collection of Adolph Galland photos. Galland was one of Germany's most
famous WWII aces. He had over 104 confirmed victories and was the Chief of
the Luftwaffe. He was one of only 27 recipients of the Knights Cross with
Oakleaves, Swords and Diamonds. I met him in the mid 1950's at USMA West
Point and visited with his widow, Heidi Galland at the 2003 Luftwaffe ace
reunion.
