    Default identifying a signature...Amon Göth?

    The SS operated an office for supervising on Jewish emigration out of Austria headed by Adolf Eichmann from the end of 1938, so we can find issued passports with some SS personnel as the issuing officials though masked nicely with police stamps.
    On-line information states Amon Göth returned to Vienna in 1938, but does not state at what capacity...so I am curious to know if the Amon that appears in this 1939 passport is the same Amon Göth? I added two sampled signatures from him that I located on-line, but I am not a handwriting expert...any ideas or comments?

    Of course not. Why should he sign an official document with his first name?

    (Also, the handwriting is different.)

    Err... Nobody said Göth was in the photograph of the passport holder; the subject was the signature of the official who signed it at the bottom of the page.

    Hello simply a quick observation. The spellings of the last name are completely different. GOTH-GOETH. Best regards.

    That's because the Polish police- or prison officials who took this mugshot surely didn't have umlauts in their letter case.

    If umlauts are unavailable for technical reasons, they can be substituted by the basic vowel plus an "e": ä = ae, ö = oe, ü = ue.

    Thanks for explaining that HPL. That's excellent information for a person unfamiliar with the intricacies of the language! Best regards.

    Small world that the man known as a monster with that name can cause confusion in identity. Incredible !

    My apologies that I thought there was one person with this name.
