    Wehrpass with signature of Graf von Stauffenberg

    I came across this interesting wehrpass.
    This one has been signed twice by Graf von Stauffenberg , at least it looks like a signature of Von Stauffenberg, dated 24 January 1944 in the Military District Command Munich II
    The signature looks to good and too flued because he lost his right arm in 1943.
    Who can tell me more about these two signatures ??

    I have a doubt because Stauffenberg had three fingers to sign during this date.

      There were several "von Stauffenberg" soldiers and this was one of them, just not the one everyone has heard about. The rank, date and location/position of the officer have to be researched.

            Definatly not Claus v. Stauffenberg. However, it is worth noting that Claus's twin brothers Berthold Schenk Graf v. Stauffenberg and Alexander Schenk Graf v. Stauffenberg both served in the Wehrmacht as Officers.

            The man to provide the definitive answer is Colin Fraser although, I am not sure if he is active here anymore.

              It's not him. It' one of his relatives, Marquard, that served as an Oberst in the Ersatz Reserve, Marquard Sebastian Ludwig Philipp Maria Schenk von Stauffenberg. He was taken into custody after the July plot, but he survived the war. Not much is known. Also Claus Graf von Stauffenberg was promoted to Oberst i.G. on 1. April 1944 and this is signed in January 1944 as Oberst; so it surely cannot be him. As said, it's normally that of Marquard Schenk von Stauffenberg.

                Excellent information Bart!

                You are right in that there seems to be little out there on Marquard, which is a little suprising really considering he was related to Claus v. Stauffenberg.

                Regards Richard.
