That is great as always, thank you Dave.

This signature has been identified as Ernst Kieckhoefer while at WBK Korbach (if Invenio records are correct then it could be Ernst Adolph Walter Karl (Born 20.3.1887)). From what I can find out his highest rank was Oberst (01 Nov 1940) and he was also the Kdr of WBK Gotha in 1939. But can anyone add anymore details to flesh him out please? On Ancestry there is a mention of a Leutnant (and Oberleutnant) Ernst Kieckhoefer being wounded in German East Africa in WW1 and a snippet from The National Archives (FO 383/58) mentions a Lt Ernst Kieckhoefer being a severely wounded prisoner from German East Africa and being held as a PoW in Ahmednagar, India before being repatriated in an exchange around 1915 - is this the same person?

Another example from 1938.

You can try and apply for a copy of the file but depending on what the file contains, they might not provide one. You can also hire a researcher who can copy it for you.

This one is already in the database as just a surname but I have been going through the Heer list today and trying to add first names to those listed as just a surname, something that has had a good deal of success, and I think this one is a good candidate for adding the elusive first name. According to a 1939 list of officers there are four Weidermann. Of those four, one (Friedrich) was already a Major in 1938 and another (Kurt) was in the Kriegsakademie and was serving at the Armeekorps level in 1940 so it is not them. That leaves Hans-Erich Weidemann (Born 07 Oct 1909, Died 13 Apr 1944 as an Oberstleutnant) and in 1939 he was serving as a Zugführer in 2./MG-Btl 48 and another Friedrich Weidemann who was serving in Stab Heeresreit-und Fahrschule Hannover in 1939 but instead of Hauptmann his rank was titled as Rittmeister in Oct 1939. If I had to, I would put my money on Hans-Erich but I can not find any other details of his service career to confirm or rule out his stint as Kp-Chef of 20.(Fla)/Inf.Rgt GD for the date shown of 01 Nov 1940. Or is it another Weidemann?
