    stuka award doc.

    hello, can anyone please offer any first impressions of this doc.
    Does anyone recognise the signature or even the name of the recipient ?

    Seems like a good one, but some other opinions would be great.

    Thanks kindly.

    3./St.G. 3 was definitely in North Africa on 20 May 1942. I cannot read the signer's signature. If someone can read it, then I can tell you if the Oberleutnant was in I.St.G. 3 on that date.

      It looks like "Mosdorf" or something similar.

      All the best,

        I just checked Fellgiebel's "Ritterkreuzträger" and there's an Oblt. Martin Moßdorf (Mossdorf), Staffelkpt. 3./Stuka-Geschw. 3. He received the RK on 3.9.42. Definitely sounds like the guy you're looking for.

          Thanks for deciphering the handwriting, which appears to be Sütterlin, and beating me to the punch!

            thanks kindly guys for the excellent info.
            Does anyone recognise the actual recipient of the document ? - he may well have been a pilot also.

            Thanks for any info on him if you have it.
