Otto Hofmann - Waffen SS

[Eisbrecher]

Hi,
I did receive a lot of paper/photos from the WK1 and while he has been in Landsberg lately.
Otto Hofmann was an SS-Gruppenführer and an official of Nazi Germany's "Race and Settlement Main Office".
On his 54th birthday he received a paper from his fellows and the names are quite interesting as they have been convicted for war crimes in Dachau, Mauthausen, etc.
I could find out already a number of names and the reasons:
Rudolf Lehmann
Franz Pietzarka
Alois Obermeier
Kraft, Wilhelm
Oswald Ulbricht
Kobilke, Lothar
Paul Wolfram Case No. 000-50-5-49 (US vs. Paul Wolfram) Tried 16 Oct. 47
Case No. 12-926 (US vs. Adolf Weger and Julius Schulze) Tried 8 Dec. 45
Case No. 12-1395 (US vs. Karl Grosch et al) Tried 22 Feb. 47
Hanz Niemann - should be Hans-Heino
Ingward Rudloff
Walther Heissig

now there are only 4 missing and hope someone can help to make out the signatures.

Many thanks in advance
Bernd

Is there no one who help here? Most of the folks have been convicted for war crimes in the KZs Dachau and Mauthausen
Best regards

Here is what I can read:

1. Heinz ???
2. ... sorry !
3. Walter Engelbauer?

Hi Helbe,
thanx for the time to look at the names.
for me the 1. looks more like Heinr., because of the dot I can imagine it is Heinrich, but the last name is a miracle.
The 4. could be O. Schulz
The 3. might be Walter Engelbauer, or Engelbarth, but both of them are not mentioned in any trial cases convicted for war crimes.
2. could mean all and everything...no idea as well.
...still searching, since the rest of the documents do not list those names as well...
