Gerdan , Thank you as usual for your response. It is always appreciated. I thought that last name will be tough if not impossible. I had thought possibly Heinrich
For the last name if you ca determine first three letters? It is a heer general staff Oberst
Danke

It is very difficult but I will try the first letter of the family name. But I can only speculate:

Speth... or Geth.... - very speculative!

Hi ! Please help with this stamp.

[Gerdan]

Could it be "Durchlaßscheinstelle der Wehrmacht" ?

Hello Gerdan - Tough to come up with an English eguivalent phrase - Would that be a military office that issued safe-conduct passes?

[Gerdan]

In general I agree but I do not exactly know what was the task of this Office.

I found this in a catalogue of an Netherland's archive. Hope some of our friend can explain us what is the meaning. As the department Abwehr is named this could help.


001 Wehrmachtbefehlshaber in den Niederlanden
Inventaris:
1. Wehrmachtbefehlshaber in den Niederlanden (WbN)
1.1. Chef des Generalstabes
1.1.5. Afzonderlijke instanties onder de Chef des Generalstabes

"72 Stukken betreffende een verzoek om verlenging van Durchlassscheine alsmede door de Durchlassscheinstelle van de Abteilung Abwehr te Den Haag afgegeven Durchlassschein, 1941-1942."

And here you can see a "Durchlassschein" related to the Gestapo:
