AlecH Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 Another signature on a earlier 2nd Class KVK with Swords citation - dated 20th April 1942. Fairly constant signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernhard H.Holst Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Hello AlecH: the correct spelling of the last name is "Lindemann" and thus spelled in all literature pertaining to this person. Bernhard H. Holst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
