Once again you have come up trumps Dave. Many thanks.

Oberst (?) Richard Stempel. Born: 18 Jun 1891 Died: 26 Jan 1943 - captured at Stalingrad and died in Russian captivity. Highest rank reached: Generalleutnant Kdr Inf.Rgt Dresden (pre-war) Inf.Rgt 110 Kdr Schutzen Rgt 108 Kdr 14 Schutzen Brigade Kdr 183 Infanterie-Division Kdr 371 Infanterie-Division DKiG - 11 Apr 1942

Unknown Major in Infanterie-Regiment Dresden and dated for April 1935. He is a Major and Btl-Kdr but the it is hard to make out what Btl so could be either I, II or III. IR Dresden was previously 10. (Sächsisches) Infanterie-Regiment (I think) in the Reichswehr and went on to be Inf.Rgt 10.

And secondly this signature for the Kdr of II/Art.Rgt 45. I believe the two signatures could be for the same person and if so he was a Major on 21st April 1936 and an Oberstleutnant by August of that year. If he remained in the Heer, and survived for any length in the conflict, he could well of made it to a General rank.

Two more - this one is for the Kommandeur of Art.Abt 716 (mot.) who was a Major in March 1942 and an Oberstleutnant in January 1943. I believe this unit was integrated into Art.Rgt 22 in 1943 and there is an Oberstleutnant Grave listed as a Regimental Kdr (or probably just a Rgt-Führer) between April & May 1943. Again, I can see that name in the signature but confirmation would be good. EDIT: After posting this I have since found a Hauptmann Grave listed with HAA 716 - IV/Art.Rgt 22 so believe this is indeed him.

Any idea who this Major is who is acting as Regimentsführer of Pz.Gren.Rgt 2 (2 Pz.Div) in 1943 please? There was an Erich Reichmann who won the DKiG in 1941 as a Major in II/Schtz.Rgt 304 and I'm not sure if I can see that name in the signature - I can certianly see the 'mann' part.
