Signature for Major VIII. A.K.

[Laurens Q-fin]

Hello guys,

Lately, I have been struggling to read the signature on this Eastern Front medal award document. Can someone lend me a helping hand, please?
The first characters should be "Dr." but the name itself remains unknown to me. I assume the first 4 characters are either "opper" or "oppen". I also went to the volksbund website and ran a search to see what names might match, but nothing comes close in my opinion.

Thank you,
Laurens

Searching more and deeper gave me this result:

This is the same signature after all.
However - to date - more information regarding this person shall remain unknown.

Best,
Laurens

I'd guess he was IIb who ever he was.

As the signature is " Dr. Opperskalski " I found one Emanuel Opperskalski who did a legal thesis/doctorate 1923 in Breslau. It could be him.

There are Opperskalski's in the 1941 address book for Breslau, however as I mentioned in the link it was a common name in Breslau.

Never looked into it after the post in 2007, however just gone through rank lists for 1939, 1944 and even Stab Stellv. VIII AK , however can not find that surname.
