    Help with Knights Cross Reunion & Signatures

    I have just received some sort of Knights Cross reunion program from 1992, it has the signatures of 8 Knights Cross recipients and so far I have been able to identify 6 of them,
    No1 is Gerhard Fischer SS-Unterscharfuhrer 3/SS pz Jag Abt ( Wiking- Tank destroyer)
    No2 is Paul Egger SS- Oberstrumfuhrer
    No3 Heinz Harmel SS Oberstrumbannfuhrer
    No4 Ernst Barkman Das Reich Kdr.4/SS Pz Reg.2.
    No5 Hans Klaus -Stg10 812 Missions, Stuka pilot
    No6 Emil Berner Gefr, Richtkan i.d.3./Flak Reg.18
    If anyone could help out with the remaining 2 signatures that would be much appreciated, plus basically what is this program for or about?many thanks
    Mark

            Good morning, Mark!
            Well sir, I am afraid that I am not a lot of help today. Your signature #3 is Heinz Harmel and #4 is Ernst Barkmann and that is my best guess. This is a very nice program for the OdR membership yearly meeting. I hope that some other member can be of more help. Hope that all is well with you.
            Cheers,
            Dick

              Mark, I'm sorry! It was way to early for me when I replied to your post. Late night and early morning and I didn't even bother to read what you had written at the top I just blundered ahead! Duh!!!!!
              Regards,
              Dick

                Hi Dick, all help much appreciated, Thought this may be a hard one, thought that Ed ????? of JG 53 may be the key to working that one out, I haven't been able to track down a listing of Knights cross recipients for this Jagdgeschwader. Any help on the translation of German program?
                thanks Mark

                  Hi Mark,

                  Your program is for the 38th annual national meeting of the OdR, the Knight's Cross Winners Society. The signature from JG 53 is that of Eduard Isken. I have seen the other unidentified one, but cannot place it right now. I'll try and find it.

                      7 could be Karl Ullrich.

                          Hi Adem, I think you may well have cracked it , looking closely the only variation is the way the i was dotted, the rest of it is spot on, and considering a limited pool of candidates, ie Knights cross winners alive in 1992 ( Karl seems to have lived until 1996 ) and its uniquely unclear signature form, its rather certain to be his,
                          Many thanks for your help and the assistance of all other members, this forum is a great community,
                          cheers Mark
