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 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: http://www.theaerodrome.com/forum/pe...m-deunert.html |

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