Names of these German commanders

Dear all,
Can someone please confirm the names of the signatories on the German documents, and perhaps any biographical data?

Thanks,
Matt.

Hi Matt,

I've found the second one:

Karl August Röckl, born on 25 November 1861 in Augsburg.

- 05 December 1914: Führer des Flieger-Kommandos in Johannisthal
- 27 May 1915: Führer vom bayerischen Armee-Flugpark von Strantz (later AFP C)
- 18 November 1915: FEA Schleißheim

Regards

Rainer

Hi Rainer,
Thanks. I thought it said Röckl, but I couldn't find any more information when searching the web.

I didn't expect him to be in his fifties though!

The name in the first document looks like "Deunert" to me (I'm German).

Could he be this Hptm. Deunert who was mentioned in another search:

Hi Olham,
Thanks for your reply. I thought the last letter could be an L ?

I'm happy for anyone else to give their suggestion/opinion

I think it's most likely a "t" - see the horizontal line at the bottom.
An "L" would have a vertical oval loop.
