      I'm having a problem identifying this signature for the Staffelkapitän of 5./JG-52. In Prien's Jagdfliegerverbände series the Staka for this period is listed as Oberleutnant August-Wilhelm Schumann (followed by Oberleutnant Siegfried Simsch from September 1941) but I can not see 'Schumann' in that signature.

      That does match the example in my files.

      And the bottom one is Gustav Streve who commanded FBB at the Wolf's Lair... Streve
    4. hucks216
      Yes, that is him.

      I have a copy of Friedrich Breith's signature in my files and that doesn't match. It is that of Georg Bechtel (DKiG).

      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

      Is there a unit mentioned under the airman's name? The Feldpost Number is unreadable in the stamp.

      Three signatures on a Führerschein. The first one is for a Hauptmann(E) in Pz.Abwehr-Abt 5 and dated for 1938... The second is for an Oberstleutnant in command of Panzerjäger-Abt 125 (125 ID) and is dated for March 1941... The third and final one is for a Major in command of Reserve-Panzerjäger-Abteilung 5 and is dated for August 1943...

      Having tried a close-up of the Gefreiter image it might not say his name after all but has something in brackets after the rank. None the less, still a very good sketch. I am sure a lot of people would like to view the books.

      Nice selection. That panzer soldier sitting with his mum (I presume) looks familiar but I can't place where I have seen him in a different photo before.
    12. hucks216
      Interesting to see them. I can't say I have ever seen examples from a veterans organisation before.
    13. hucks216
      Many thanks for showing some of the sketches. Please feel free to add some more. I particularly like the one of the heavy artillery piece with the sentry and the ones of von Reichenau. The first one of the Grefreiter seems to have the soldier's name. Is that readable in the book?
    14. hucks216
      Thanks for that Dave. The signature certainly looks different. The 03.01.1939 Gliederung lists him as an Oberst in charge at WBK Deutsche Krone but the 1940 DAL has him one rank lower as an Oberstleutnant in that position but as an Oberst in the 1942 DAL.
    15. hucks216
      Can anyone confirm who this signature belongs to please? The listing for 3rd January 1939 states an Oberst (E) Röhrssen as Kommandeur of WBK Deutsche Krone but not sure if he would still be in charge in September 1942. I can kind of see some of that name in the signature but also parts that I can't!

      Probably not much chance as a positive ID of this signature due to the low rank and being in the training & replacement units of GD, but what do others think the first few letters are? I think the first letter could be an S, but it could also be a H or J with the following letters having the chance of being c, e or a.

      I've had a look through the command positions for II/SS-TIR 2 and can't se any name that would fit that signature. It might just be one of the soldiers who is sending a photo home to the family. At around this time the II Btl commander was SS-Hstuf Karl Kummer followed by SS-Hstuf Max Dallinger.
    20. hucks216
      Nice photo for the Stab of II/SS-TIR 2. Not sure how possible it would be to identify the signature though.
    21. hucks216
      I don't have any examples in my files to compare but it looks possible. Also looks to be an interesting citation variant.

      Example to a son of a senior German Heer Officer. He would go on to die aboard U-623.
