10./JG 2 & 7./NJG 1 Staffelkapitan Signature ID's

Can anyone identify who these 3 Staffelfuhrer/kapitans are for 10./JG 2 & 7./NJG 1?

10./JG 2 = 01/10/1939 & 05/06/1940
7./NJG 1 = 01/07/1944

Re: 10./JG 2 & 7./NJG 1 Staffelkapitan Signature ID's

Going through the soldbuch (to a member of ground crew) again I have noticed more signatures from Staffelkapitans from NJG 1 - can anyone help in identifying these:

Scan 1: Both are from 7./NJG 1 - I think the 2nd signature is of Oberleutnant Wolfgang Bauer, but I don't know who the first signature belongs to (and I am only assuming he is a Staffelkapitan) and it appears twice with the dates 17th Nov 1941 & 3rd May 1942.

Scan 2: 7./NJG 1 dated 2nd May 1941

Scan 3: 9./NJG 1 - there is no date shown but the original soldbuch owner served with the 9 Staffel from 5th Oct 1942 to 31st Jan 1944

Scan 4: 7./NJG 1 dated 1st June 1940

The middle signature on the first scan looks like Steinbach or Steinbock. My opinion.

Regards,

Kaczmarek

I recognize Oblt Müntefering on scan 2 and 4. Could be Oberleutnant Franz Müntefering Staffelkapitän 7./NJG 1.

regards,
René

Re: 10./JG 2 & 7./NJG 1 Staffelkapitan Signature ID's

Kaczmarek comment made me think it might be Steinhoff and looking at some of the signed photo's of Johannes Steinhoff on the internet, it looks very close. Only problem is my notes show Steinhoff as Staffelkapitan of 11(N)/JG2 at the time not 10(N)/JG2 ???

As to the second scan of signatures

1. first signature - looks like Wagener or Wagner? my opinion?
second signature - Wolfrat Bauer as already noted

2. looks like Franz Muntfering who I have as Staffelkapitan until Jul 41

3. Wilhelm Dormann as already noted (I have as Staka Sep 42 to WIA 17-18 Aug 43)

4. same as 2 above

Regards

Craig...
