Translation Help Needed..

[Lynton Battrick]

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this,but it is Soldbuch related.
I have tried translating on a translation engine but the result makes no sense.
So i wondered if any German speaking members could enlighten me?

StuG,

You are kindly requested to state why you want information on the relevant member of the Wehrmacht.

Trust this helps,

David

Thank you!

..Very much for translating that!
Not sure how I proceed now,as I requested information online,do I need to reply in writing?
Has anyone searched for information on a soldier before and had this happen?
Any help appreciated,
Lynton.

Lynton,

I have never tried getting any information from them. As far as I know, there used to a policy of providing information to next of kin only, although that may no longer be the case.

Sorry I can't help you any further, but I would be interested to hear how you get on.

David,

Thanks for that,I didn't see any mention of next of kin only but I may have missed it!
Translation from my book is difficult!As even when you get all the words changed they make no sentance!
Thanks and regards,Lynton.

Hello Lynton.

As Frosch 's translation indicated, a response would be in order for any further handling.
I am not familiar with the procedures of Wast ( to which you apparently directed an inquiry about a certain individual ) but why not formulate a direct response and see what the result will be.

"Formulate direct response"
Cheers,lynton.

Hello Lynton.

I tried to say to simply respond to their question as to what you purpose/reason is for your inquiry.
