German officers in captivity 1945.

Can anyone help in identifying the officers who have signed their names on this attachment. They were all POWs in mid 1945 and probably in British rather than US captivity although I can't be certain of this.
Many thanks for any assistance
Regards
Ian

Ian,

I believe the last one is General der Infanterie Martin Gareis.

Best regards,
Shawn

Hi Shawn,
I have another example of Gareis which I just looked up. You're absolutely right. Many thanks

Hi Ian!

I think the third signature is "Drescher" = Friedrich Drescher, Generalmajor

Hi again!

First signature looks like "Randewig" = Randewig Kunibert, Oberst, signal- and intelligence service.

Regards
