Question Help on a signature….pleeeeze!

I have a stupid question that will probably easily be answered and that is I have a load of paperwork which i just bought, and in amongst it all is a cert for the KVK. That looks like it has been signed by the General Fieldmarshall of the 12 Army Wilhelm List would this be his signature? Its penned and the certificate is real as they come and interestingly it is issued for Kephisia in may 41 which I believe is the Kreta campaign ? So would the big boss of 12th Army sign a piddly little KVK document?

I'm not too up on this paperwok, takes too long to research it then some one buys it in 2 seconds!

And yes Phil, I have an SS something in amongst it all:D

u-boat photos

Hi ! I am not sure if this is the right place to post this but sorry if it's not .
Iwas at a friends parents house last week end and was looking at their old pictures and i found 3 photos of a u-boat in Nova scotia ,Canada.
The story we discover about it (thanks to friends from another forum ) that it was The U-boat 889 in 1945 at the time they surrender and were being escorted by the HMCS Rockcliffe J355 - Minesweeper HMCS Rockcliffe of the Algerine class ,Allocated to the Western Escort Force W-6, she was part of the group that captured German Type IX submarine U-889.
i found a pic of it in a site that shows the identical paint missing at the same place as my picture
Just wanted to share some pic with members i was like a kid when i found those

A Few Polish FirearmsHow about yours?

Was talking to another member about Polish rifles and wondered if any one else shared this interest?These are my four Poles,the first was a scrubbed receiver,with a WWI German bolt,all matching wood and metal,except the bolt.Most likely saw action in Spain.The one thing different was the bolt release,has a waffenamt,and the part number on it matches the rifle.Here are some photos of that rifle.Never knew there were Polish98s till a gun show a few of years ago,when a fellow was handling this rifle and explaining it to his friend.He set it down ,I picked it up,and started a new branch of collecting WWII arms.I do love this hobby!
