I just found a photo of his identification papers (I think they were sold on some collectors site.)

His name is Ralf-Peter Sauer and his name is mentioned on the Nizkor Project's website under a list of Blockfuehrers.

He was born in 1909 and I think this photo was taken around 1940.
I hope this information is correct. I was just messing around on the internet.

i was browsing around on the internet looking for someone to draw and I stumbled upon a photo of this man's identification papers.

His name is Ralf-Peter Sauer and he was born in 1909. On the Nizkor Project's website, his name is mentioned on a list of blockfuhrers.

His Nazi Party serial number is 3 549 208.

I don't speak German so it was a bit hard to make out the words on the id but the year 1940 is mentioned on the back.

I hope this helps anyone who was curious and that this info is correct. (i was just messing around on the internet and thought it might be of interest to someone)
