Description

An authentic post war signature on a 4x4in semi gloss photo copy. The letter is dated 1982 addressed to a Mr. Moore. Apparently Moore was some what of a historian though amateurish in nature. This letter is one of the most elaborate and personal ones I have seen from a post war knights cross point of view.  In the letter is this much talk about Moores’ visit to Germany and i believe about an hour long discussion, perhaps at Damsch’s residence. It appears Moore’s wife was there as well. There is further discussion about future interview process and how Moore should have his questions prepared in advance and that Damsch should know them in advance as well. This discussion was because Damsch apparently wasn’t fond of the way the interview went when he listened to it. There is also some talk of politics and a Panzer Veterans meeting.
