[Ian Jewison]

Hello all,

Does anyone know who was the I. Wachoffizier aboard U-92 from March until July 1944?

I have before and after but can not find who it was during this time scale:

Oblt.z.S. Gottfried Dingler: U-92 II W.O. March 42-August 43.I W.O. August 43-March 44
Oblt.z.S. Rudolf Walther: U-92. I W.O.July 44-October 44

Attached is his signature....

Regards,
Ian

Thank you Axel,

I can see it is a K now, thought it was a T at the beginning.
