Sepp Dietrich, Waffen-SS Fake or Original???

[frankandfrank]

Hello i have a question?
my friend will buy this Sepp Dietrich Card with original handwritting signature of the SS-General.
Is this a original signature or a fake? I dont know this character signature of Sepp Dietrich! I compare with my Sepp Dietrichs, but i can find this one.
thanks ralf

the shape (graphics) of this signature does not correspond to that which one can usually see. I am skeptic...

Dietrich signature

Hi Ralf,

for me the signature is at least doubtful.
Sepp Dietrich was the commander of SS-Oberabschnitt Ost from october 1933 until 1934 (my sources do not tell the exact end date), but he was promoted to SS-Obergruppenführer on the 1st july, 1934. It can well be, that he was not yet Obergruppenführer when leading SS-Oberabschnitt Ost.
My source is Krätschmer - Die Ritterkreuzträger der Waffen-SS.

Kind regards
Robert
