Lt. Col Stapelberg info

[N Mühlgay]

I recently acquired this copy of a particularly nasty propaganda tract from a local academic institution that was weeding down its collection. It is inscribed

Quote

[To] Their Commander

Herrr Lt. Col. Stapelberg

for his 42nd birthday

 

The officer corps and functionaries

of Flieg.-Ers.-Abt. 13

 

Weimar-Nohra, 13 November, 1937

I have two questions:

1. Who was Herr Stapelberg and what was his operational history and what medals and honours was he entitled to ?
2. Can anyone read the signatures of the officers ? Is anyone someone whose name would come to stand out in flight operations in the upcoming conflict ?
