Something happended if we read here
Durch den Prokurator der Republik im Bezirk Benguela wurde der Verwaltungsstelle für feindliches Eigentum eine Aufstellung über das Eigentum der deutschen Untertanen Paul Koester und Dr. Schachtzabel übersandt, dessen Beschlagnahmung kürzlich verfügt wurde.

So the other was Alfred Schachtzabel. So If found as well

Dieser Deutsche, Paul Köster, wurde jedoch zu Beginn des Krieges selber verhaftet.

No idea about his life dates.
