II./Sturzkampfgeschwader 77 Signatory Nov 41.

[Richard Mills]

I am hoping someone can help with the identity of the attached signature from II./Sturzkampfgeschwader 77, dated 06-November-1941.

I appreciate the signature is signed as F. d. R. d. A. and could be a number of Officers of Hauptmann rank within II./St.G 77 at that time however, I am hoping someone might be familiar with the signature and be able to provide a name accordingly.

Any help will be very well received.

Regards Richard.

The abbreviation stands for Für die Richtigkeit der Aussage, which translates to: The accuracy of the statement. The signature is very difficult. I will say Gritsen.

F.d.R.d.A.
The British Air Ministry's Manual of German Air Force Terminology, German-English, A.I.12/Air Ministry, 1945 says this is the abbreviation for:

"für die Richtigkeit der Abschrift" (for the accuracy or correctness of the copy or transcript)
