Colin, and my apologies in return as I have not logged in for a while to see your reply. Thank you for the words concerning Fromm, it seems that by all accounts he was a opportunist to the end. It is a shame there is not much of substance known about his exact level of knowledge or even involvement in the plot, as I find him a very interesting person sat as the Commander of the Reserve army, while his Chief of staff is plotting to assasinate Hitler. I have read this thread several times now, and would be genuinly interested to see your collection published in the future. Regards Richard.

Lüdwig Becker NJG 1

Dennis It is my opinion that more than one hand wrote those signatures, which if any, was the hand of Ludwig Becker I cannot say for sure. As with many of the famous NJG RKT, Becker's signature had undoubtedly seen the attention of the faker/forger and doubt regins over many signatures as a result. Regards Richard. -

stgeorge64 replied to stig58's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Research, Documentation & Photographs
Dennis Yes, that indeed is what is known as a 'Press Photo' and is nicely stampted to the reverse side. With regards to the signature, that is what can only be described as a minefield these days as the fakers/forgers having enjoyed their 'days of plenty' and the market is now flooded with a whole myriad of KIA RKT in virtually any format that you would like. In regards to this signature, it will always be difficult to judge from a single photo however, please be aware that Becker's signature has appeared in signnificant quantities in the past few years, frequently on blank pieces of paper with several other Nachtjagd RKT (including Schnaufer) and small paper clippings with newspaper photos attached. Regards Richard. -

I am hoping that someone can help in the identification of the attached signatures from a Soldbuch of a Bordfunker, who flew with Kampfgeschwader 53 "Legion Condor". First off are these 2 signatures of an Oberleutnant und Staffelfuhrer of 3./KG 53 dated 01-July-1940. All help will be gratefully received.Regards Richard. -

Uwe That is excellent! thank you very much indeed! I had forgotten about this Urlaubschein and only noticed the signature recently, so to discover he was awarded the RK and DKiG with KG 40 is a real bonus for sure. Regards Richard. -

Gunnar Thank you very much indeed for the additional information concerning Josef Stigell, it is much appreciated. Regards Richard.

This one has had myself and many others puzzled completely. Major u. Stelv. Kommodore Kampfgeschwader 40 on 29-07-1942. In my opinion is that this was obviously a temporary assignment in between the below: Oberst Karl Mehnert, 1.42 - 1942Oberst Martin Vetter, 1942 - 1.9.43Any ideas anyone? Regards Richard. -
Any ideas on this signature on the opening page of a Wehrpass, and signed by a Hauptmann und Kompanie Chef 6./Inf. Regt. 16, dated 30-September-1936? Hucks216 suggested a Hauptmann Schaumberg who was in command of 4.Kompanie (however, no idea if he was a 'von' or not as the signature suggest that signer is.) Regards Richard.

Signed as Oberleutnant und Adjutant I./Kampfgeschwader 2 from the first half of 1942. I 'think' I read Koepping? although that name does not reach a match with anything I can find as yet. Any ideas on the signature? Regards Richard.
