Hello and thanks to have look at my request,

I have seen theses info but my probleme is that I don't see the name of Gen.Lt. Karl Strecker has what I have as signature. The signature doesn't look like if it is written Strecker. Whqt do you think as I have to say that it is hard to read the signature! Does any of you have a signature for sure of Strecker?

Thanks a lot

Have a little faith... I just didn't pick any name out of a hat. As far as signatures go, this one was easy. For confirmation, check out the picture below, taken from the inside cover of Strecker's book "Von Moskau bis Ischa". I've also got an original Strecker signature in my archives. The signature is definitely, certainly, 100% Strecker.

Hello,

Thanks a lot Jason! Signature are really hard to figure out. And this one was not easy (for me), even if now I know for sure it is him, I still can not really read his name through it.

Thanks again

The signature is based in parts on Sutterlin script. If you have a look at the alphabets at the link you can see how similar the K & St are for instance...
