The commander of SS-Fallschirmjager-Btl 600 for this period was SS-Obersturmfuhrer Fritz Leifheit and the signature on the Kraftfahr-abz & letter do not match his signature. Although the signer has had an attempt at it there are some glaring differences (especially on the TDB citation) and the pen stroke does seem to be a bit shakey in places. By that reasoning the whole set has to be seen with some doubts.
the best is the typewriter
Looks like Somebody bought himself a German war-era typewriter with an SS key. You see them on eBay quite alot. The paper doesn't look the right age either. Personally,I wouldn't trust any of the lot. William
Hello all,
Thank you for your input, i didn't know about Fritz Leifheit - very important point.
Take care,

The date stamp of the kraftwahrbewahrugsabzeichen 13 feb 1945 is exactly the same including the date as the one you have posted in the SS Forum which i will move here , coincidence !!! i think not as the guys have said a faker at work but all from the same person , where have you sourced these documents ??

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

My mistake it's on the EK doc to Charlemagne !!
