1939 Wehrpass entry

 

 

You would probably be best off hiring a researcher although obviously that will cost a few hundred to a few thousand Euros depending on how much there is and how long it takes to copy.  I have used Benjamin Haas to access the Bundesarchiv and he is good (he was able to copy 2,000 pages for me at a cost of 500 Euros.) He is happy to answer any questions you may have:

Without a date and place of birth it might be difficult. If you have those details then you could hire a researcher to see if his personnel file exists in the Bundesarchiv Berlin (Enlisted Men) or Freiburg (Officers). As long as he has been dead for 10 years or more or 100 years have passed from his date of birth then the researcher should be able to access it.

This is a Luftwaffe signature - Herbert Bachus.

The date of birth doesn't match but there is a Major Hans-Joachim von Samson-Himmelstjerna listed as dying on 27th April 1944 while serving with Pz.Gren.Rgt 64. A relation perhaps?

 

 

 

 

It could well be. It looks like it says Kdr Div.Kr.Offz under the signature so I would assume the Kr is Kraftwagen.

No, I don't think so.

Those are ranks and signatures - Gefr (Gefreiter) and then a signature followed by Uffz (Unteroffizier) followed by a signature. 

If he was killed or died of wounds it wouldn't be entered under a weapon issue.

Were they still manufacturing the Waffenrock in 1944?

I would say it is a fake. The way the signature is signed across the typed F.d.R is an old fakers way of making it harder to decipher the signature.

The Index thread to compliment this superb thread is now up to date. As always, if you spot any mistakes etc just let me know.

This is my first post.

Start with this E.K. 2. "urkunde" from 18. august 1916 to ??? L. Hermann signed 20. august 1916 by Major und Kommandeur der Pioniere  IX K.A. Krischbert ?

I have sought on the internet and can not find anything.

Do any of the members know who this is?

Hello!

Does anyone have an officers list of the High command of Heeresgruppe Mackensen in 1917 including turkish officers?

I need to know who signed this paper (it´s for a visit of the imperial castle in Bucharest)

He was the Imperial Turkish authorized general staff officer in the high command of the army group Mackensen.

Major Tewfik (Binbaşı Tevfik): chief of staff 26th turkish Division
Oberleutnant Schuekri (Üsteğmen Şükrü)
Oberleutnant Sirri (Üsteğmen Sırrı)
Leutnant Sureya (Teğmen Süreyya): Btl.Kdr. II./türk. 73.Inf.Rgt
Unteroffizier Chewfki (Astsubay Şevki)

signed, Major ???

Thanks a lot!

Does anyone know who signed this? It has been signed on behalf of rather than by the person who held the position so can not find anything that fits. At the date show Karl Kriebel held the position shown on the citation while Ernst-Eberhard Hell held the command position in VII.Armeekorps - neither signature matches.

 

To compliment the outstanding Kriegsmarine Cap Tallies thread here is an index to help people look for any examples that have already been posted. Just because an example has been posted please do not stop posting any similar examples of a cap tally in wear as the index can be updated as and when required to include it. 

There does seem to be a formatting issue when having to inset new entries in-between existing ones which leaves a bigger than normal space between the entries. If anyone knows how to overcome this without it breaking the links your help would be appreciated.

Of the handful of Reuter's listed, the closest to match in terms of arm of service is a Hauptmann Reuter serving in Infanterie-Rgt 116 but that is most probably Erich Reuter who won the DKiG as a Major in February 1942, RK as an Oberstleutnant in August 1942 and the Oakleaves in January 1945 as a Generalmajor while always serving as an infantry officer and not panzergrenadier.
