    Docs about SIPO, Operation Greif

    Sorry to say but have not found time to translate.
    Anyway, this group concerns Operation Greif.
    As an addition I add three docs to a brave soldier where one doc have the same sig as on the "Operation Greif" doc, 2 years between them though.
    Feel free to comment and thanks for looking.

          While not being an expert by any means, I have some doubts about these....Whose signature is that supposed to be on the Operation Greif letter as well as the BKA doc? Looks suspiciously unreadable....

          Any other opinions?

          best,
          Hank

          P.S. - I do hope I'm wrong, as these would be great docs if real!

            Thanks Hank for your opinion !
            Well, I really just want to find out if okay or not. And further information about the docs is really ice on the cake.
            A quick Google search gives me this name: Erich von dem Bach-Zalewski. As I could understand the info he signed docs with; von dem Bach. Have not yet found a signature though.

              But as to the authenticity, it's not my area and so have no opinion of value.

                Ok, I found his sig in Nara archiv (sig #1) when he was imprisoned.

                I want to add that this group was coming from a very reliable source. It would make me really surprised if these docs was not authentic. I´m far from expert but with these docs in hand I would say they are okay.

                To compare:
                sig #1 original from Nara archives when imprisoned 1945
                and
                #2 nov 1944 from doc above.

                    An excellent grouping that I don´t see any reason to doubt at all!
