Yes it is.

I have one of the latter for a medic in a Tiger Funklenk panzer unit... FpNr 01914 for the date = (24.3.1944-6.11.1944) 2.10.1944 Stab und Versorgungs-Kompanie Panzer-Abteilung 301.

General der Artillerie Walter Heitz. Born: 8th Dec 1878 Died: 9th Feb 1944 in Moscow Highest rank reached: Generaloberst Kommandierender General VIII Armeekorps Captured at Stalingrad 31st January 1943 RK - 4th Sep 1940 / EL - 21st Dec 1942 DKiG - 22nd Apr 1942 Image: Assault Badge citation

That looks like a great resource for the subject matter and obviously a labour of love.

Hello Phil and welcome to the forum and the paperwork section. Feel free to browse and contribute whenever you wish and don't forget to check out the signature database also. Enjoy your time here.

It is the Roman Numeral for 1. Here are the others... Ia Erster Generalstabsoffizier (Chief of Operations) Ib Zweiter Generalstabsoffizier (Quartermaster) Ib/Kfz Kraftfahrzeugoffizier (Division Motor Pool Officer) Ib/WuG Waffen- und Geräte-Offizier (Arms and Equipment Officer) Ic Dritter Generalstabsoffizier (Chief Intelligence Officer) i.G. im Generalstab (of Generalstaff) IIa Divisionsadjutant (Division Adjutant) IIb Officer for personnel means, enlisted men and NCOs IVa Divisionsintendant (Division Commissariat Section) IVb Divisionsarzt (Division Surgeon) IVc Divisionsveterinär (Division Veterinarian) IVd Divisionspfarrer (Division Chaplains) IVz Stabszahlmeister (Monetary matters)

The Operations Officer (or Chief Of Operations) was referred to as the Ia.

I'm afraid that the 'Beamte' area of the Wehrmacht isn't something I know much about so can't be of much help but I would think the Administrator side could cover many different branches.

You have the rank correct. Three stripes is a Korvettenkapitän (2 & a half stripes would be a Kapitänleutnant and 4 stripes is a Fregattenkapitän). I can't quite make out the full details of the sleeve eagle on the cuff but if it is 2 stripes under the eagle than he is a 'Verwaltungsbeamte des gehobenen Dienstes'.

Unfortunately he isn't listed in Lohmann & Hildebrand's Die Deutsche Kriegsmarine Vol III, nor is he listed on the KM crew list site or in the Volksbund database.

And another one... http://www.regimentals.co.uk/viewphoto.php?shoph=53647&phqu=7

There have been a couple of Kleist hand-signed citations on the market in the last couple of months and they tend to be quite cheap (I've yet to see a single example for more than 100 Euros). There is a Gebirgsjäger Pionier set here... http://www.military-antiques-stockholm.com/index.asp?contentpage=showproduct&page=1&id=15418&kategori=175

Well, the signature of Walter Assmann does match the example I have seen when he signed as an Oberst. As for the stamp it could be caused by too much ink on it when used, or maybe just a badly maintained one where 'gunk' has built up between the letters to spoil it. The Kleist signature isn't actually a hand signed example. The Kubanschild citations were signed off by using a stamped version ofhis signature. At the end of the day it all comes down to what you are comfortable with - if you have any doubts than why chance it? The market is awash with citation groupings at the moment, and alot of them are at decent prices, so another one will come along sooner rather than later if you decide to turn this one down.

Two nice examples Franz.
