Hitler / Meissner signatures on KVK document

[erichcraciun]

Hello,

I am sure this question comes up very often:

Which signature here is "real" ? An amateurish questions from me but I do not know the no military award documents too well. Is the Meissner signature mostly from his hand / original? And the AH signature?

Thank you

Erich

Meissener is typically countersigned and "real" while the Hitler signauture is a facsimile. On late war citations the Meissener is often facsimile as well.
