Hello Dante,

 

I read Barthel, and there is a Leutnant der Reserve der Marineinfanterie in 

 

the Marinerangliste 1918 without medals.

Kind regards

Hello Dante.

I agree with Andreas on "Barthel".

I read the signature as von Gerlach, Oberleutnant zur See.

Andreas, Bernhard, many thanks as ever appreciate your help

By the way would that be Konteradmiral Joachim von Gerlach Born: 22 Nov 1895 in Berlin Died: 19 Mar 1979?

​Hello Dante.

I am unable to confirm that except to state that there was only one officer with the last name von Gerlach listed in the Rangliste der Deutschen Kriegsmarine  with date of 1.September 1944. So chances are that he is the officer.

Date of birth would put it right into that time frame with rank of Oblt.z.See.
