Hello

The photo is dated on the back : 1933
Is there someone who can translate the text on the back of this photo for me ?
The tower in the middle of the tribune looks also very familiar to me .
I will place this photo on the photosite I have whith photos of the german Schellenbaum , but I need to have a good translation of this text ,Thanks

Militär-groß ?

Militär-Gruß-Konzert

It should be :

Großkonzert - Great concert

Hello Gran Sasso and Ian ,thanks for the translation of the text

Gerdan : I was confused because of the '' umlaut '' I thought that there was no umlaut in the name of Von Hindenburg
So this is the correct text :
''Milit******228;r Grosskonzert im Hindenburg Stadion Berlin ''

Hi Johann,

what you saw in Hindenburg was a so called " U - Bogen".

In the old German writing they had to make a little bow on top of the letter "u" because sometimes you had problems to see the difference between "u" and "n".

Both letters look very similar in that handwriting.
