    Two Comrades

    Here's a nice shot of two buddies. There's some writing that needs translating on the back.

            StuGIII Great Photos!!! May I suggest picking up a German/English Dictionary....it's an excellent learning tool. I refer to mine a lot and you can easily sort out the more common sayings and greetings that are standard on many of these portraits instead of continually asking for translations. That is if they aren't written in old German which I cannot read myself. Bill

              Translations

              Hi Bill,

              Thanks to the people on this board, I have been able to recognize a few simple words. However, most of the writing is in old German, which neither of us can read. So, when that happens, I need to ask for someone to translate. Also, one has to take into account the persons writing ability. If their writing is bad, it makes trying to read what they said even more difficult.

                Serenity now!!

                When I saw w. petz reply, I chocked on my coffee hoping it meant more wonderful fotos. Nuts,Bill. I join those thanking you for the pleasure you gave us..I went to Fotos first, several times a day looking for your uploads. I hope the person responsible sees our messages and works something out. John

                          Man in the middle is definitely not SS as he is wearing an Army sidecap and belt buckle but unusual collar tabs.
