KVK 1st Class with Goering Sig.

[münster]

Hi

I have just won this and it was advertised in the auction as a Goering signature, I think it is a facsimile being Goering would not sign something as trivial. I have also never seen the title "revier " gruppenfuhrer?? If this transleates in my weird german correctly revier means a region.

Thanks

I think that guy was a policeman and "Revier" is his beat or district in which he was "Gruppenführer" - section or district commander.

The Goering signature is a facsimilie, with the document being signed by Bruno Loerzer.

Yes, facs as I would imagine,,also found a revier is sort of a beat-cop.

Thanks guys

How are the ranks designated in the forestry service and was there a Gruppenfüherer rank in that service? Revier can also refer to a hunting ground and Goering was the top hunting official for the Reich. Here is a link to books that use the word Revier in the context of a hunting area.

I think your man might be a member of the Luftschutz which included the rank of Gruppenführer and the term Revier would fit in the context of that organisation.

BINGO Simon, In the rest of the grouping which I lost out on was a doc for the luftschutz 2nd class,,,
