Famed Luftwaffe pilot (1919–1942), nicknamed the “Star of Africa,” who was Germany’s most effective ace during World War II, on one occasion achieving eight victories in ten minutes. Killed during a plane accident, Marseille was immortalized with a one-word epitaph on his tombstone: “Undefeated.” Very scarce 4 x 3.5 photo affixed to a 6 x 7.25 mount, picturing Marseille and two other men studying a kiosk plastered with notices, boldly and beautifully signed on the mount in fountain pen, Marseille adding his rank, “Oberleutnant und Staffelkapitän.” A pristine and unusual example from this most elusive and desirable of German aces! In very fine condition. R&R COA.
