    Description

    Erich Palmowski was a war correspondent for the German elite command who also produced artwork like this print, and many of his works can be
    found in publications, magazines and newspapers of the era.  He was also featured in an art exhibit during the war where his portfolio of 20 works was displayed.  This exhibit was organized by the German High Command and featured artists from across Germany.  I believe this print is from one of the portfolios that were of the 20 works displayed.  Very rare print, and it is very hard to find very much information at all about his original works online.  One of his paintings did sell at auction in 2017.  It is easier to find his works in the magazines of the period.
    I am certain this is an original print from WW2.  It looks to have been in this frame for a very long time.  Both business' on the back no longer exist, and I would estimate the framing to be probably from the 60's or early 70's.  It was found with a collection of high end original military and related pieces of artwork stored with other high end collectables.
    I believe I remember seeing this in one of the WW2 era magazines from Germany and it might have been the cover.
