What is the source of this quote?

,,Ch. Hamilton's book "Leaders and Personalities of the Third Reich", vol. 2, front and back cover, as well as page 29 about Hitler's autopen signature. (Click on documents to enlarge)
In 1997, Hamilton's work "Leaders and Personalities of the Third Reich", volume 2, was published by Bender Publishing of San Jose, California. This book is currently available from the publisher at $45.00 or from Amazon.com. It contains biographies, photographs and examples of handwriting and signatures of many top military and civilian Third Reich personalities. Both Mr. Stahl and myself received acknowledgement from the author for our respective help. On pages 29-30, Hamilton publishes five examples of period Adolf Hitler signatures that were machine-signed with what is called an autopen. This device used a template and can sign thousands of documents with what appears to be an ink pen.

It has been known for some time but is a well-kept secret, that Adolf Hitler signed very few documents, either using the services of one Vittorio von Ihne, attached to the Chancellery, or a Major Baumann in the Army Personnel Office (for the signing of military promotional documents.)"

...the signatures not done by Hitler himself were auto pen signatures, nothing else.

Nobody would be alowed to sign for him with a real signature...These are stories.

Gregory Douglas is another alias of A.D. Royster, who is actually Peter Stahl (and Walter Storch and lots of others). So this is a typical case of quoting himself by himself and then referencing the two himselfs again by himself under another assumed name. And he knows: once it is in the Internet at several spots with different names it is gospel, because "The Internet doesn't lie!"

...i loved his Winny the Poe articles in the Military Advisor...
You shoud hire him for collums in your magazine Dietrich
Pieter.

He writes already for another "writer and journalist" ..... And the International Medal Collector is really not a science fiction magazine!
