Adolf Eichmann handwriting

[max history]

Here is an example of the handwriting of Adolf Eichmann. The words were written by Eichmann during his trial in Jerusalem and are notes for his lawyer Robert Servatius. This slip of paper comes from the files of Servatius. (The pencil notations have been added subsequently.) In it, Eichmann mentions Heydrich and Hitler, but I am having major problems reading and understanding his handwriting. Can anyone help please?
Thanks,
Max.

Looks like Ribbentrop's name is also in there, but help with reading would be appreciated.

Surely somebody can read his writing?

something about Ribbentrop on 2nd line and Goering third line

I missed Goering, but you might be right.
Anyway, help with reading is appreciated. It's not often one sees Eichmann's own handwriting, so any help would be appreciated.

I can't help with a translation either, but it looks like "Amann" appears on the fifth line. Most interesting...

There is a Post your translation thread...maybe you should have placed it there for a better opportunity to have it translated.

I can make out no more than what has previously been stated here, but will say this is indeed an intriguing and historical piece....if possible, more about its origin / background would be appreciated...

I didn't post it there for one very good reason.......I need some to help read his handwriting, not translate it!
Regards,

I'll give it a go but there's some words I can't decipher. I'll enclose uncertain words in square brackets. Hopefully others can build upon my first attempt.

"Siehe [Drk.] 93 ([folgt] siehe Fahne)
[regt] ??ller [maybe "Müller?] an Ribbentrop auf S.5 (Mitte)
Heydrich erklärte, daß neu Auftrag [Goerings"] an ihn
auf Weisung Hitler erfolgt sei, da Hitler
an Stelle neu Auswand. die Evak. nach
dem Osten [crossed-out word] genehmigt habe."

The second last word in the second last line appears to be "Evak.", which I guess is an abbreviation of "Evakuierung" (evacuation), and it has a double underline to stress its importance. The fourth word on the same line is Auswand. (must be "Auswanderung" = expatriation).

I can read many types of old handwriting but this is just a case of sloppy "modern" writing.

Hope that helps.

Jason,
Thank you; that is exactly what I am looking for. I agree that his handwriting is extremely poor, but given the conditions, I'm not surprised!
I think this note might be referring to Göring's instruction to Heydrich and the subsequent Wannsee Conference.
Could the word you think is [regt] Müller, be "sagt Müller" or similar? I think you are right with Müller in any case.
I'll post it again here so we don't have to keep scrolling up.)

The second letter looks like an "a"... first letter I'm not certain about but it could be an "s" and "sagt" fits within the sentence structure.

Any more suggestions please?
