Help to identify some of the signatures in this card

This is a arequest from John Barber:

My father Laurie Barber fought against the Afrika Korp  in Operation Crusader with the 18th Battalion 2nd NZEF and also on Crete against the fallschirmjager.He visited Germany as a guest of the German Paratroopers Assn in 1963, prior to that he was invited to the Afrika Korps Reunion in 1962, unfortunately he could not attend both.

So for not attending the Afrika Korp reunion, my father was sent a post card from the reunion, with Frau Rommels signature on the front and on the back signatures of some of those Afrika Korp members who attended.Can you maybe post the attached pictures to your site and see if people can identify some of the signatures please
regards John Barber

THE GAZALA LINE BATTLES

MAY 26-27 1942

The 8th Army front extended from Gazala to Bir Hacheim and was interlaced with huge minefields of a scale and complexity never encountered before. Behind this line loomed the strongly defended boxes of Knightsbridge and El Adem and finally Tobruk, occupied by experienced desert fighters. Even Rommel underestimated the strength of the forces mustered here. However, within 3 weeks of opening his offensive, Rommel would reduce this magnificent British army to a state of complete rout.

BIR HACHEIM

January 29 1942 after the Bengazi's fall Rommel reaches the at Bomba's golf and to Ain el Gazala's line. At May 26. The Axis forces consists in the 15st e 31st Panzer Divisions (320 combat vehicles), the Italian Division Ariete (240 combat vehicles), the Italian Division Trieste and a German Motorized Division. The Axis forces wait for the arrive of second Italian Division; the Littorio.

THE SECRET WAR

Not all the battles was won on the battlefield. The intelligence, diplomacy and the secret operations, played an important role to both sides...

THE SECRET WAR - OPERATION "FLIPPER"

OPERATION "FLIPPER" 14/18 NOV 1941 “It was a brilliant operation and with great audacity” Rommel  Among the troops of the 8th British Army great admiration existed for Rommel and their feats. In only two months, Rommel had radically changed the course of the African war, forcing General Wavell's army, that attacked, to retreat, and to combat in the defensive. Therefore, the General Auchinleck was sent to substitute Wavell. For her time, the General Alan Cunningham, person in charge of driving the general offensive against the German positions on November 18, had the idea of previously eliminating Rommel, by a stealthy and effective ambush. Something very daring, for certain. If we get to eliminate him anyway that it is - he said - we will get the confusion in Afrika Korps. And it was as soon as, disposed to execute the idea, some young officers proposed a reckless action plan. It was known, certainly, that Rommel had his HQ in Sidi Rafa's place, 375 km behind the German lines, and 18 km of the sea. The access to the place was possible by sea or by the parallel highway to the coast. Attacking Sidi rafa the HQ could be destroyed and Rommel killed .
