I forgot to add the source, sorry. (Was that big blue sign necessary Dieter?)

It comes from an Andreas-Thies auction catalog, 2007

Regrettably you forget customarily to name the source of your pics!

Now look here. So Dornberger was indeed earmarked for promotion, but needless to say, it did not come in time.
I suspect he added the "promotion" to the Soldbuch himself after the war. Also note the new RDA as GM.
