089p2 - Original Wolfgang Willrich pastel drawing of Unteroffizier Walter Mose. Wolfgang Willrich was probably the best known military portrait artist of the Third Reich. Attached to the OKH (Oberkommand der Wehrmacht) as a Sonderfuhrer in the Army's Propaganda Department, Willrich's work inspired the OKH to order that all KnightsCross winners were to have their portraits painted. This task fell on Willrich who was promoted to the rank of Sonderfuhrer (Z) Special Leader in July 1942. His portraits of Knights Cross winners were widely distributed on postcards that were printed for collectors and often used for autographed copies of the Ritterkreuztragers. This pastel shows the portrait was done in 1943. The same year the portrait was drawn. The Walter Mose (Objg., Zugfhr. Inf. Div. 13, /Jg. Rgt. 49 ) was awarded his RK on March 11, 43 and Oak Leaves Feb., 10, 44. This portrait showing Mose wearing his Knights Cross was not mass reproduced for period publication, postcards or posters making this a very rare and one-of-a-kind original. This Willrich portrait comes with an original postcard portrait of Mose and measures approximately 12 X 14 inches. $7,500. More Photos
