Josef Kammhuber signed 4.5 x 3 black and white portrait photo. August 19, 1896 - January 25, 1986 was a career officer in the Luftwaffe and post-World War II German Air Force and is best known as the first general of night fighters in the Luftwaffe during World War II. He is credited with setting up the first truly successful night fighter defence system, the so-called Kammhuber Line, but a detailed knowledge of the system provided to the Royal Air Force by British military intelligence allowed them to render it ineffective. Personal battles between himself and Erhard Milch, director of the Reich Air Ministry, eventually led to his dismissal in 1943. After the war, he returned to the military sphere in Germany's Federal Defence Force. Scarce autograph. Good condition. All autographs come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
