JohanH Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Hello! Can anyone ID the signature on this document to Matrose Reinhardt? It looks either like Whulf or possibly Willy? Is there any way to find out more about Reinhardt? Best regards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyC Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) Hi Johann, at that time Korvettenkapitän Erich Schultze-Jena was Kommandant der SMS Beowulf. The first word Schultze, second word Jena seems to fit. Best, GreyC Edited July 19, 2020 by GreyC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohanH Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 Thank you! I was not even close with Whulf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyC Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Those signatures are always difficult to decipher. Had I not consulted the Kommandantenliste, I wouldn´t have come up with that name. If you know the name, the comparison is easier. GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohanH Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 Do you think Matrose Reinhardt is the same person as Josef Reinhardt, Musketier in Res.Inf.Rgt.255 who is listed as awarded the liberty medal 1st class in Mannerheims order no 68? Is Reinhardt a usual name in Germany? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyC Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Hi, Reinhardt is not rare as surname in Germany. Transfers from infantry to navy are. But not impossible. GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
