Stafü 6./KG 4 19-02-45 - Any Ideas on Signature?

A long shot I know however.....

Can anyone identify the attached signature of the Staffelführer 6/Kampfgeschwader 4 "General Wever" dated 19-February-1945?

If someone has a breakdown of the Staka/Stafü of KG 4 in this period or can perhaps read the signature, it will be very well received.

Many thanks in advance, Richard.

The rank doesn't fit - the signer on the entry is a Leutnant.

…………..and this Leutnant is not the Staffelfuehrer, but rather the Stellv. (deputy) Staffelfuehrer.

Thank you to all who have replied, I knew it was a long shot, especially with his rank and being so late in the war however, it is always worth asking the question.

Regards Richard.

Be aware this can be a ground crew officer too. There are many cases when these were acting as Staffelführer to do administrative jobs. During my JG 6 research I also found several and it took me ages to identify them.
