    I have a few papers from a Rittmeister Seyffardt dated 1928 for an exercise in the vicinity of Munster. Participants include:

    COL Brauchitsch

    MAJ von Apell

    MAJ 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

    Thanks guys. The RK I bought had these papers with it. The note book has Rittmeister Seyffardt's name on it. Does anyone have a picture of him?

    thanks again.
