Staka 3./JG51 22-April-1941 Question.

Can anyone identify the signatory of the Staka 3./Jagdgeschwader 51 on the attached image? The insert is attached to the final page of a Soldbuch.

Any help will be very well received, many thanks in anticipation.

Regards Richard.

Many thanks for the suggestion on Krafft. The signature certainly looks as though it ends with a 't'.

Do you by chance know the dates Kraft served as a Staka with 3./JG51?

Thanks again for your help.

Regards Richard.

Hello Franck

Thank you for the link, which states he was appointed Staka 3./JG51 on 01-November-1940 through to 01-June-1942, which fits the dates on the insert for it to be Heinrich Krafft.

Thanks again.

Regards Richard.
