hucks216 Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 That's the signature of Roques. Can't remember his first name off the top of head. Might be Karl von Roques but I don't have anything to compare the signature with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hucks216 Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Is talk about this von Roques, Karl? I'm not sure. The only two 'Roques' I can think of is Karl von (who had a Luftwaffe background) and Franz von and I have an example of Franz von Roques's signature in my collection and it isn't the same as the one shown here (see Signature Database to see it). I have seen this signature many times but have never bothered to save it to my files. Wish I had now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Perry Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 In this site http://www.geocities.com/~orion47/WEHRMACHT/LUFTWAFFE/General/ROQUES_KARL.html we can see that Karl von Roques was in retired since 31/03/1943. I don't think that award document is fake, this is cheap doument, but the paper is very thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auseklis Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I don't think his signature has changed THAT much in 3 years: http://www.huesken.com/shop/en/autographs-1933-1945-army-twenty/roques-64462.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one is Franz von Roques. You can see here that he held the rank of General zbV 1 during the period of the citation shown on Hueskens...

hucks216 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 A few signatures that I have yet to find the identity to. Dated 1939 so may well of progressed up the ranks in the years to follow but shown here as a Leutnant in Stab I/StG 2 'Immelmann'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hucks216 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) And a few dated for 1944-45 and from KG-54/KG(J)-54. The first one would be from 4./KG(J)-54 in April & May 1945... While these two are from 11./KG-54 and dated for March-May 1944 (there might be a slight possibility that the first one could be for 5./KG-54 but Soldbuch shows the man served in 11 Staffel at the date shown)...

Fred Perry Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 no name of unit the information from Wehrmacht-Awards: "The document is signed by the Gruppenkommandeur, Oberstleutnant Hermann Busch."

(http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=726160) That does fit the appointments but that signature looks very different from the Hermann Busch signatures I have in a KG-40 grouping when he held the position of Fliegerführer Nord (West). See the citations here (the first three seen)... KG-40 Edited March 19, 2014 by hucks216 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
