    The only other information with the stamp is "Command post office box number 25251 M"

    Full photos are on http://www.wilhelmgustloffmuseum.com/wreck_artifacts.html

    The last entry for that FpNr belongs to a Heer unit so if the number is correct then it might have an additional listing that hasn't been noted before...

    (6.4.1944-9.11.1944) 26.8.1944 Pionier-Sonderstab 71.

    Hi Kev,

    any idea on this signature ?

    I cannot quite make it out,"Albrecht" perhaps ?

    Thanks,Martin.

    Yep - that belongs to Conrad Albrecht who held that position from 3rd July 1935 to 31st October 1938. He retired in December 1939.

    Thanks Kevin.

    You are a wealth of information. ;)

    It looks like you do not have this signature in the database,so i will add it.

    Many thanks and regards,Martin.

    Hi Kevin,

    i may have posted this one before but after going through the database i could not find it.

    A Minesweeper document to a Stabsobersteuermann Walter Fiedler,signed in Wilhelmshaven on 8 November 1940.

    It is a large 12 x 81/2 inch (A4) doc.

    Sadly,the signature of the K,zur See und Fuhrer der Minensuchverbande Nord has faded and is barely visible.

    Any idea who the signer of this document was ?

    Any help would be appreciated here.

    Being honest here i am going to sell this document but it would be nice to figure out who signed it.

    I need to raise money for a very special (to Me) Hilfskreuzer document.

    Many thanks,Martin.

    I think it is the signature of Knights Cross winner Kurt Böhmer. As you say, it is very faded but I think I can make out the 'öhm' part of his name.

    Thanks a lot Kevin.

    I think you are correct.Here is another similar document signed in Wilhelmshaven about a month later by Bohmer.

    Much appreciated.

    Martin.

    Yep, seeing the clearer signature I would say that it is one and the same.
