Hi!

This pic was advertised on e-bay as General von Neurath (!! :roll: )

Can anyone please identify him. Many thanks in advance,

VJK

Hi Vienna,
Apologies for not acknowledging your input of 26Feb re Spindler and Hilgemann before now. Many thanks. Any ideas on 223?

Hi Ian!

223 - possibly Dedo von KROSIGK, KC 15.5.42, Hauptmann
(227 very difficult, any other advice?)

Regards

Hi Vienna,
I think you are right on both counts. I actually have post war examples of those two and although their writing has changed over the years I'm positive about Pestke and pretty sure about von Krosigk. Well done! The only one I'm unsure of at the moment is 211 who you thought could be Alfred Bopp. You can't see it very well but I THINK there is an umlaut over the second letter. Any ideas?
Thanks again. Brilliant ID!
Ian

Today's identification to 211 is Helmut Kopp, KC 2.6.42, Olt

Hello Vienna,
Brilliant. You're absolutely spot on....again! I actually had another signature of Kopp in the same visitors book and it's definitely him. You have now solved all my RK queries. Very much appreciated. I still have a few other signatures to decipher. I'm not sure if you have looked at them bu if not they are listed under 'Wehrmacht Officers Award Document ID' and 'Signature Identification German POWs March 1946'
Once again Vienna many thanks
Best

4 - Is not Wilhelm Malachowski

Number 4 is Otto-Ernst Remer, awarded RK on 18 May 1943 and then Oakleaves on 12.11.1943.

Hi!

The Gebirgsjäger General is Karl Eglseer. The RKT looks familiar but I can't at the moment put a name to him.

Regards,
