Yes Steve that’s him and only the second SiPo Dienstausweis I’ve seen with his signature.

Steve,

A little background info on the Dienstausweis to Barth.

The matching warrant disc that belonged to Barth and which was captured at the same time as his Dienstausweis, was used by MI6 to create a fake Gestapo warrant disc # 8486, which was used by Hitler assassination conspirator Hans Bernd Gisevius in his escape to Switzerland in 1945.

Some years ago I did write an article about Robert Barth for Yad Vashem Studies: "Robert Barth: The Austrian Canary".
If you are interested I believe these days it can be downloaded from the Yad Vashem website for free.

Thanks Steve sounds very interesting and will most certainly check it out.
