LUDWIG CRUWELL
(1892 - 1958) German general, made commander of the Afrika Korps on 31 July 1941 under General Erwin Rommel, who on the same day took command of Panzer Army Africa. He was a recipient of the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves. Cruwell surrendered to the British forces on 29 May 1942. Probable war-date S.P., 2.75 x 4 in. b/w, a chest-up portrait in uniform, signed across the collar in black ink. The ink itself shows some crackling, with some slight discoloration to the emulsion, else very good.
