    Hi Andreas, is the first one you posted signed by Alexander von Hartmann? Stewy

     

    It shouldn't be as he never commanded Inf.Rgt 211. In 1940 he was commanding Inf.Rgt 37. The thing is it does look like it is 'trying' to say Alexander von Hartmann but it can't be him. Does anyone know who commanded Inf.Rgt 211 in 1940? If that is trying to be Alexander von Hartmann's signature then it calls into question the originality of the documents. I have a niggling feeling that they are faked.

    This is Hartmann's signature...  AvHartmann

    I´ve never said that it is signed from A v Hartmann.

    The document group is undoubtedly genuine.

    There are 10 documents from him, almost all his medals and his tunic.

    Kind regards

    I read Altvater Mackensen, is this possible?

    Very well spotted. In 1938 there was an Oberst Arnold Altvater-Mackensen in command of SS-Junkerschule Bad Tölz and he did indeed command Inf.Rgt 211 from October 1939 to October 1940.

    Apologies for casting doubts.

    Hi Stewy, even here in Germany I haven´t seen this before

    I´ve forgotten this one, awarded for the Warsaw uprising

    Cheers Andreas

    Nice historical related piece signed by Max Reck, who has now been revealed as a war criminal for the murder of hospital patients in Warsaw.

    And here on GMIC

    There might be the odd ad-hoc typed up version out there but it would seem that GD only ever used that variant of citation. No matter if it was 1942 or 1944 I have not seen a different variant from GD.
