I also have a condolence letter dated February 1943 signed by Hans Reiss but I think the signature is different (first and last pages attached to show headed paper and signature). This Reiss was the Staffelkapitän of 3./KG 2 and an Oberleutnant from 17.05.42 to 11.06.42, according to Ulf Balke in his two-part work on KG 2.
I am still in the early days of researching, so happy to compare notes off line if that suits you.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this however, I have only just noticed after posting another signature question a few minutes ago.
The Anerkennung relating to the destruction of the Bristol Blenheim aircraft is very nice indeed! (incidently, I have a document signed by Hofer in another KG 2 document set) and the signature does indeed look like 'my' Reiss.
Thank you for putting this up.
Regards Richard.
