dond Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I have a few papers from a Rittmeister Seyffardt dated 1928 for an exercise in the vicinity of Munster. Participants include:COL BrauchitschMAJ von ApellMAJ Mattenklott (1st DIV)Rittmeister Seyffardt (KAV. DIV)Hauptmann Kauffmann (5th & 6th DIV)It has plenty of signatures etc...Is there any interest in things like this? I can read quite a bit because it is typed for the most part. There are hand written notes on the backs of some docs.Any of these guys go on to be famous?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
