Help with German handwritting

Hi all,

I would like to ask you for help in decoding the German handwritten name. I guess it is some name following the short cut of the rank Lt.
Any help here?
Fall of year 1943, ZG 76 related possibly.
Thanks

Hmm, that is possible. Pawel. Although the man under this name I list with single s, and at other Gruppe, could be from later time. Thanks for opinion and help.

Re: Help with German handwritting

I'd say without certainty.

Lt Johann Wenko I./ZG26 two claims 20th June 1944 and 7th July 1944.

Regards

Johannes

Re: Help with German handwritting

Johannes, I do not think so...
Once at ZG 76, why would be transferred to ZG 26. and the l at the end of the name...hmm seems not probable for me. But thanks for opinion
