Hi all,

Is it known the name of the Oberstleutnant responsible for Wehrbezirkskommando Hanau in May-June 1941?

Thanks in advance

I'm assuming you are asking because of a signature. If so, do you have an image?

"i. A." Otl. "Frhr. v. Beschwitz"
(so, he was not the Kdt. but only an officer serving in that WBK.)

Thanks, so the rank stamp was referred to the Kdr (Oberstleutnant) but signature was from another officer serving there . ;)
I didn’t notice I.A.

Otl. too refers to this officer (Frhr. v. Beschwitz) who was Otl. and serving in this WBK.(but he was not Kdt. d. WBK.)

This is the signature of Luftwaffe Oberstleutnant z.D. Werner Freiherr von Beschwitz (1884-1972).
There are times in history when staying neutral means taking sides.
