(1875 - 1950) German leader of the Stahlhelm, Bund der Frontsoldaten, in Germany prior to the Nazi seizure of power. In 1932, Duesterberg was nominated by the Stahlhelm when they revealed he had Jewish ancestry. Ironically, Duesterberg was offered a position in Hitler's cabinet, but refused and was later imprisoned at Dachau. S.P. 3.5 x 5.5 in. b/w, an artist’s postcard portrait of Duesterberg in uniform, boldly signed across bottom of image. Fine.
