    Description

    Signed by Dr. Staelin Korv. Kupt. u. Fl. Chef.
    who I have identified was the flotilla chief of the
    4th Port Protection Flotilla in Cuxhaven from
    February 1942 to April 1943, so we have a definite
    time period of this signature during WW2.
    Also found this reference on Axishistory dot com:
    Korvettenkapitän der Reserve Dr.med. Friedrich Wilhelm Staelin (15 Feb 1941-00 Apr 1943)
    The value in this book is having the signature from
    the commander of the flotilla at the time of which
    this book is about.
