information please

[MILITARYMAN1000]

Hello, I cant read the man's name and I would like his birthplace as well and any other information on these pages but I have a hard time even telling what the words are.  I am learning how to read German but again It is hard for me to tell what the words are on these documents

Thanks

John

Erich Karl August Toimies (not 100% sure about the last name)

born in Alfeld im Leine (in Saxony). But, he lived in Prussia.

I would prefer to read the family name Tönnies because I found some persons in the Alfeld an

der Leine (Leine is a river) phone book with that name. Also 94 entries with this name in the

Volksbund datebase.

I agree. I just noticed the umlaut.
