Fred Perry Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 This signature probably of Luftgau-Kommando XI Generalleutnant What is the name of this Generalleutnant?
hucks216 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 That's the signature of Roques. Can't remember his first name off the top of head.
hucks216 Posted November 6, 2013 Author Posted November 6, 2013 That's the signature of Roques. Can't remember his first name off the top of head. Might be Karl von Roques but I don't have anything to compare the signature with.
Fred Perry Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 Might be Karl von Roques but I don't have anything to compare the signature with. Is talk about this von Roques, Karl?
hucks216 Posted November 6, 2013 Author Posted November 6, 2013 Is talk about this von Roques, Karl? I'm not sure. The only two 'Roques' I can think of is Karl von (who had a Luftwaffe background) and Franz von and I have an example of Franz von Roques's signature in my collection and it isn't the same as the one shown here (see Signature Database to see it). I have seen this signature many times but have never bothered to save it to my files. Wish I had now!
Fred Perry Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 In this site http://www.geocities.com/~orion47/WEHRMACHT/LUFTWAFFE/General/ROQUES_KARL.html we can see that Karl von Roques was in retired since 31/03/1943. I don't think that award document is fake, this is cheap doument, but the paper is very thin.
Auseklis Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 I don't think his signature has changed THAT much in 3 years: http://www.huesken.com/shop/en/autographs-1933-1945-army-twenty/roques-64462.html

That one is Franz von Roques. You can see here that he held the rank of General zbV 1 during the period of the citation shown on Hueskens... Franz von Roques Edited November 6, 2013 by hucks216

Mattyboy Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew who this fellow was. Thanks & regards, Matt.
hucks216 Posted December 17, 2013 Author Posted December 17, 2013 Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew who this fellow was. Thanks & regards, Matt. Here you go: Kastner-Kirdorf
hucks216 Posted December 17, 2013 Author Posted December 17, 2013 Wow - that was quick! Thank you very much No problem. His is a very commonly seen Luftwaffe related signature, along with Rudolf Bogatsch's.
Fred Perry Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Hi, is this signature of General der Flieger Ludwig Wolff? Is this facsimile or no?
Brian R Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Yes, it is Wolf and it is a stamp. His sig is basically always found stamped from the mid-war years on.
Fred Perry Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Yes, it is Wolf and it is a stamp. His sig is basically always found stamped from the mid-war years on. Many thanks Brian!
hucks216 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 A few signatures that I have yet to find the identity to. Dated 1939 so may well of progressed up the ranks in the years to follow but shown here as a Leutnant in Stab I/StG 2 'Immelmann'.
hucks216 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) And a few dated for 1944-45 and from KG-54/KG(J)-54. The first one would be from 4./KG(J)-54 in April & May 1945... While these two are from 11./KG-54 and dated for March-May 1944 (there might be a slight possibility that the first one could be for 5./KG-54 but Soldbuch shows the man served in 11 Staffel at the date shown)...

hucks216 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Posted March 19, 2014 Dear friends, who is this? Is there a unit mentioned under the airman's name? The Feldpost Number is unreadable in the stamp.
Fred Perry Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Is there a unit mentioned under the airman's name? The Feldpost Number is unreadable in the stamp. no name of unit
Fred Perry Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 no name of unit the information from Wehrmacht-Awards: "The document is signed by the Gruppenkommandeur, Oberstleutnant Hermann Busch." (http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=726160)
hucks216 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) the information from Wehrmacht-Awards: "The document is signed by the Gruppenkommandeur, Oberstleutnant Hermann Busch." (http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=726160) That does fit the appointments but that signature looks very different from the Hermann Busch signatures I have in a KG-40 grouping when he held the position of Fliegerführer Nord (West). See the citations here (the first three seen)... KG-40 Edited March 19, 2014 by hucks216
Fred Perry Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Hello! Is this signature of Commander 4. Flieger-Division Hellmuth Bieneck (http://www.geocities.com/~orion47/WEHRMACHT/LUFTWAFFE/General/BIENECK_HELLMUTH.html)? Edited March 28, 2014 by Fred Perry
