Help with Jochen Peiper's photo please
Please look at this photo and help to identify it: when, where... I hope there is no doubt that it's indeed Jochen Peiper, because of his signature. Suppose he is the one standing on the tank.
The photo was found here: http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr31 ... Peiper.jpg
Thank you : )

Re: Help with Jochen Peiper's photo please
Actually this does not need to be Peiper at all. I have seen similair pictures as this one, with for example a Pz.Kpw "Tiger" in Aachen with a claimed signature from Michael Wittmann. If Im not wrong, the signature was also found to be fake.Snarka wrote:Please look at this photo and help to identify it: when, where...

Indeed, a Heeres PzKpfw III signed "Peiper" has been disussed in this forum too.
Re: Help with Jochen Peiper's photo please
Well I didn't think about this possibility : )
Anyway... any ideas about the photo? Maybe someone met it already and could say a word or two? Even if it is not Peiper? I guess it is impossible to say yes or no anyway, at such a distance.
Anything about the machine he is standing on?
Here is the site it was found at: http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr31 ... Peiper.jpg (I'll put the link into the main post in a sec). Unfortunately, I see no way to contact the person who uploaded the photo...

Re: Help with Jochen Peiper's photo please
What machine is it?
Suppose this is NOT Peiper. Anything about when and where?

Re: Help with Jochen Peiper's photo please
It's a PzKpfw. II and at first glance I'd say the photo is taken in Charkow in March 1943 - but at that time Peiper led an SPW battalion.
Re: Help with Jochen Peiper's photo please
Thanks a lot! This is already something : )
As to what led Peiper, I think it shouldn't necessarily be his own vehicle. The man on the tank clearly wants a better view: he is standing and looking into binoculars. Could be any machine which happened to be nearby, imho. If that is Peiper at all.

Hate to burst the bubble, but Peiper isn't in that photo. You've got one from this series. Random, often well known photos with a fake autograph...

Re: Help with Jochen Peiper's photo please
Thanks for explanation, and for the examples.
I'd like to hear from somebody who could say more about the photo. I know some people here at this forum have seen tons of wartime photoes, maybe someone recognizes it.
Is the photo I asked about well known? If so, would be nice to get more info. Otherwise, I just assume that this photo could be genuine, or it could be fake. The existence of many fakes doesn't prove yet that this particular one is fake too.You've got one from this series. Random, often well known photos with a fake autograph...

Hello Snarka,
"If it walks like a duck and swims like a duck and quacks like a duck".. it is usually a duck. I am sure that with a little bit searching we find "your" photo easily. But why use the time when we are already pretty sure that it is one of the common fakes to get money out of the pocket of people.

Ok, ok : ))) I didn't mean that someone would do a special research about this! Just maybe you already met this photo somewhere.
