Hello exander.
I can't help with authenticity, but you need to show the whole document to get an accurate assessment.
Kind regards,

Consider the document valid and genuine, the question is if the signature would genuine or added after the fact.
How do you know the document is valid and genuine?
My understanding is that Hitler signed documents by hand and an auto pen was used, but it is important to have good quality photos that can be expanded to examine the signature in detail.

I can't help with authenticity or say whether it is hand sighed or auto pen. It is important to have good quality photos that can be expanded so more knowledgeable members can examine the signature in detail and give you an answer.

A signed document cannot be authenticated without a look at the document itself...
As mentioned, the document has to be looked at in its entirety to form a basis. Does it make sense for Hitler to have signed this document or had it manually reproduced based on the contents of the document? The signature is just a part of the document, and when signed by a famous figure, has to be thoroughly inspected down to every minute detail in order to determine if it’s authentic, a facsimile, or made by an auto pen.
Every letter in the signature has to be inspected under great magnification and compared side-by-side with a known original. When held up to a light source, you should clearly see varying amounts of applied pressure that come with different letters and stylistic writing tendencies. The auto pen begins and ends abruptly with a dot of ink then throughout the signature there will be unnaturally straight lines or inevitable mechanical wobble from the machine. None of these aspects would be seen in an actual signature due to the mechanics of the human hand. The ink of a stamped signature will be pushed outwards leaving edges with more ink than interior portions.
If extremely serious, the types of pens and inks used at the time would be observed under higher-end microscopes to check the specific characteristics of the ink. The width and color of the ink. Types of oxidation seen with inks that contained metallic additives would want to be checked.
These are some of the major aspects that cannot be ignored when seriously questioning the authenticity of a signature.
