If you men the rank of Willi Dick, he is a "Fahrdienstleiter" a rank of the Deutsche Reichsbahn.
He was a station inspector or traffic superintendent with the German State Railway.

The signature of the firs docvument is from Otto Meissner as Simon told us. He was the head of the Office of the President of Germany.

The RAD (Reichsarbeitsdienst) detachment 6/122 was located in an area called "Huttchiner

Ländchen" in the "Saargebiet" near Einöde a town near Saarbrücken.

There the man called Hans Reichert was working to built the "Westwall" (Siegfried Line):
