Description
A thin pictures glued to a white cardstock which was then signed in felt tip pen. It could be war time signature, it’s hard to tell here. He died in 1983 and as a result did not sign that many autographs, making his signatures hard to find. Not to be confused with Heinz ARTHUR Berger who was in the Luftwaffe and also won the RK.

“On the 30.08. and 01.09.1941 Gefreiter Berger fought as the gunner of a 3.7 cm Pak in the area west of Bolotina (itself located 17 km north of Jarzewo). While defending against hostile infantry-supported armor attacks, all while under heavy mortar fire, he destroyed 13 Russian tanks that had broken into the main battle line. This total included 12 medium and one 52 ton class tank.
