SS-Hauptsturmführer Michael Wittmann, commander of Kompanie 2, SS-Panzer-Abteilung 101, during a short respite with the crew of his Tiger tank close to the frontline in Normandy, June 1944.
Since 1975 the Military Gallery, Richard's exclusive publisher, has been signing with and collecting original autographs of those who took part in the battle for Normandy, from both sides of the bitter conflict. Thanks to the latest printing technology, Richard's detailed drawing has been faithfully reproduced on fine art paper which dates back many years and has been personally signed by a staggering TWENTY EIGHT German WWII Panzer veterans.
Each COLLECTOR'S EDITION print is then mounted to full conservation standards to include a museum-quality reproduction Panzer Badge.
For the serious collector, the extremely limited VETERAN'S EDITION offers staggering historical authenticity. With all components of the Collector's Edition, also included in the matting are two RARE and hard-to-come-by ORIGINAL autographs that have taken a number of years to source and collect - the famous tank commander depicted, Michael Wittmann, along with his reliable gunner, 'Bobby' Woll. Not only did Woll serve as best man at Wittmann's wedding, but he was also the first and only SS tank gunner of the war to be awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross.
