Art work some WW2

Post by 42rocker »

Just bought a print that came in over the counter of some German Tiger 1 early style tanks. Got the website site and it has some other nice prints on it.
The one that I bought was "The Wedge of Iron" and the print has been individually signed by six Knight's Cross holding Tiger tank commanders
Check it out.

He has some nice work however, his historical knowledge is a bit lacking.

For example:

"Waffen-SS Panzergrenadiers fire from the cover of an abandoned King Tiger near Jameppes, Belgium in October of 1950. A limited edition of 1000 prints with 50 artist proofs signed by the artist."

I noticed at least 2 or 3 typo's in his website also. Don't know who did the proof reading on his website but that 1945 - 1950 error was done at least twice. Of course I look at the typo errors on my website and his looks great and his art work even better. After a proof read of this short note even with the error correction and spell check I still had to fix several things. But at leeeeeeast I fixxxxxed themmmmm before I finished this.

But nice artwork with some German autograph's. Like on mine, it was signed by six Knight's Cross holding Tiger tank commanders. One of whom wrote a book that I read several months ago and now I have his autograph, Otto Carius. If you get the chance read his book, Tigers in the Mud. An interesting read.

Enjoy Life

Otto Carius is still alive. I keep meaning to look him up when I'm over there or send him a copy of the book to sign. I should hurry up and do that soon.

I agree with the above-a very talented warrior! The book is currently availlable from Stackpole Books,part of a series on WWII. The Micheal Wooten print series is also excellant,why he would have such poor proofreading is beyond me! ---bil

Good Art,,, poor proof reading....
Thanks for the link, maybe next time that I or my son is in Germany we will try to stop.

Thinking about framing the Tiger print and putting it on the wall.
