Help with Fliegerschulen Signatories

[Larry deZeng]

Thanks, Manfred. If SOMMER, then probably this officer:

SOMMER, Dr. Otto. (DOB: 22.10.91).
01.09.37 Oberst, appt Kdr. III./KG 157 (to 30.04.39), then Kdr.
III./KG 27 (to 30.06.39) and Kdt. Fl.H.Kdtr. Delmenhorst.
18.08.40 Oberst, KIA in a Do 17 Z-2 (F1+HT) of 9./KG 76 shot down by AA fire and crashed vic Sunny Croft, Golf Road, Kenley.

Right rank, right branch (Kampfflieger), and there is a probable assignment gap between 30.06.39 and 18.08.40. Odds are about 9 : 1 that this is right one.

for item 1 I would read the Name "Sommer" or "Somner". Best regards Manfred

Manfred & Larry

Thank you very much indeed for your help with this!

After trawling through all the Luftwaffe Officer named 'Sommer' on the Luftwaffe Officer Career Summaries, as you say Larry, surely this is indeed the right man:

Dr. Otto Sommer.

Thanks to all with their help with these signatures.

Regards Richard.

I had forgototen about this document containing the final signatures from this grouping which are still to be identified:

Kampffliegerlehrgang 'Oldenburg' from 1938.

Any help at all on either the Major und Kompaniechef or the Oberstleutnant und Kommandeur will be very much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance and a happy festive season to all.

Regards Richard.
