8./SS-Pz.Art.Rgt.5 Wiking

Hello all,

Could the signature on this document be from Ostuf Otto Cramm, as the commander from the 8.battr. SS-Pz.rgt.5?

I would say it does look like his name and he is listed as the 8 Batteriechef from June 1944.

Thanks.

Can someone tell me with what sort of guns the 8./Kp was equiped?
I some lazarett documents I've got from this person, they write that the 8./Kp was a Pz.Jäg./Kp., could this be right? I don't find any info about this on the net.
I do know that this person was trained to drive a armored tracked vehicle (gepanz.Vollketten) before his transfer to the 8./Kp.

Any info about this is more than welcome.

Best regards
David Notebaert

He was still Batterie Führer in August 1944 when recommended for the German Cross in Gold having previously been Abteilungsadjutant, so not yet the permanently appointed Batterie Chef. Likewise was still Batterie Führer in the document show,
