hucks216 Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Is this signature of Oberst Hans Treptow (http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Gliederungen/Schutzenregimenter/SR101-R.htm) ? It certainly looks like it says Treptow but I don't have any example in my files to compare with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikscollectables Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hi, this is not my regular field of collecting but it is part of a Hungarian group which is my field of collecting so I hope someone can help. Who is this General Major? The EK2 is for a Hungarian Colonel (Regimental Commander of Honved IR32) on the Eastern front, 1942-43.

hucks216 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 That is the signature of Wilhelm Burgdorf. His signature tends to be seen on prelim RK citations. Burgdorf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stgeorge64 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) 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.

stgeorge64 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Any ideas on this example?Dated 01-September-1944 and signed as a Hauptmann from Streifenlehrabteilung Belzig (Wehr Kreis III).A long shot I know however, I thought it worth asking the question.Regards Richard.

Fred Perry Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) Dear friends, I think this is facsimile of General der Infanterie Viktor von Schwedler.What do you think - original signature or facsimile?

hucks216 Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 It is a facsimile - the signature on the left is the hand signed one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hucks216 Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 A couple of signatures from the same Soldbuch to identify. This first one I can not work out if the rank reads Oberst or Oberstleutnant. If the former than maybe he made it to General rank before the end of the war. The unit is 78 Infanterie-Division (78.Sturm-Division). And the second example is for an Oberstleutnant in Pz.AOK 3. In September 1943 he held the rank of Major.

Bernhard H.Holst Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Hello Kevin. I cannot add or rather clarify to 78.Sturm Division, probably because he signed as " Oblt. u. stellv. Div.Adj." As to Pz.Armee Ober Kommando 3: Kurt Wehner in his "Die Deutsche Wehrmacht 1939 - 1945" lists as Adjudant Obstlt. Hubert Eben from March 1943 to May 1945. Bernhard H.

As the former was an Oberleutnant that would certainly explain why I couldn't find him. And thanks for the latter one, I would say that the signature fits pretty well for Eben.

Dave Danner Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 The Oberleutnant looks like it may be Schulze, but that is little better than an educated guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks for the effort Dave. I had actually mis-read the rank and originally thought it had said Oberst so I am not surprised that finding the identity of an Oberleutnant is proving tricky at best.

hucks216 Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Would anyone happen to know who was Battalion Commander for I/Gren.Rgt 757 (338 Inf.Div) during the date shown - 06 Feb 1943? I know Major Bernhard Marr commanded it during the fighting in Southern France in 1944. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hucks216 Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Latest one - unknown signature for the Btl-Kdr of II/Geb.Jäg.Rgt 144 and dated for June 1943. I know that there was a Franz List (RKT) listed as Btl-Kdr in March 1943 but this signature looks very different from what I would expect from that surname.

Uffz. Rohleder Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Can anyone read that Signature? Its in a book my grandpa got as birthday present. He was short time in the Wachbataillon Wien as Bursche for the Kommandeur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hucks216 Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 Can anyone name this Major please? Kompanie-Chef of 1./Pionier-Btl 1 (1.Infanterie-Division) dated for October 1938. The Offizierstellenbesetzung 03.01.1939 lists a Hauptmann Scharfenorth in that position, with an Oberstleutnant Otto Meyer in command of Pi.Btl 1.
