Before passing this Flak Soldbuch to a new owner, I would appreciate your thoughts on this one, especially on his eleven awards.

Good SB, but 10 of the 11 awards are fake IMO.Comment

My first thought as well, but when you have a closer look: same handwriting and pen as in almost all other 1945 entries. So.. are all the entries regarding his promotion to Zahlmeister (pages 1, 3, 14c, 19...) faked as well, or could the booklet be completely original? Note there were no unit stamps available for all of the February / March 1945 entries.Originally posted by walter1010de View PostComment

My first instinct of Page 3 is that entries 3, 4 & 5 are all fakes - the signatures just don't look right. Looking at the signature on lines 1 & 2 it looks natural as if the person knows what name he is signing whereas the other ones are just squiggles where it looks like the signer has no idea what name he is trying to sign - same for the signatures on Page 17c. I'm assuming that all four should be the same person but none of the signatures are even remotely the same which indicates someone signing a name they don't have any experience at signing.Last edited by hucks216; 11-27-2011, 03:42 PM.Comment

Thanks for your input Kevin. Well, going through the entire Soldbuch another time I found the solution... he is signing off his last equipment change with "Lange, Ogefr."; this is the 2nd of April 1945. The quick change in ranks and the multitude of awards were suspicious of course, but this small detail kind of gives it all away.Comment

Hi Tim,
I can only agree with Walter and Kevin, your booklet seems to have some problems.
