SS-Brigadeführer Friedrich Schmidt

[Matt Gibbs]

SS-Brigadeführer Friedrich Schmidt was deputy Gauleiter of Wurrtemberg Hohenzollern and I am looking for a photo of him, if anyone on the forum has come across such a thing, and also a good photo of Murr who was his boss, I have only seen a small one of him, not very clear.

I posted some details about him years ago on the forum, but unless anyone has any oddball info such as wartime promotions etc that would also be useful!

any help appreciated!

regards

hello,
I am trying to find out if the green-pencil signature on this very early German occupation of Lublin (first 2 days) document is the signature of its first governor SS-mann Friedrich Schmidt?

[Georges JEROME]

Doc couldn't be signed by Friedrich Schmidt. Simply because he was appointed at Lublin on 26 october 1939.

[huddyhuddy]

Thank you for the reply.
Would it be possible to identify then who signed it?
