FJ Wedding portrait

[Jon N.]

Hi guys, most of you know but as of late my focus has been Luftwaffe Wedding photos because they tend to show the happiness in a time of war. Their also pretty easy on the budget too LOL. I picked this up from Para03 from the board here. But here you go and as always if anyone could tell me what it says on the back it would be greatly appreciated! TIA and all the best, Jon

Hi Jon,

Nice photo; I too like to collect these family portraits though I focus on the larger families instead of wedding portraits.

The text on the back says "Zur Erinnerung an deiner Arbeitskamerad ..... Ostern 1943", or in English "As a remembrance to your work comrade .... Eastern 1943". The one he sent this card to must have been a colleague from his pre-war occupation, or perhaps a friend with whom he had served in the RAD.

Unfortunately I can't make out his name, perhaps Gerdan or someone else can.

Thank you very much Tim! I was told on GMIC, that the last name is Leni, for the womans name. All the best, Jon

Hi Jon,

Leni could make sense though I would have expected one more stroke for that name (two for "e", two for "n", one for "i"). In that case, the postcard would of course have been given to a previous colleague or fellow Weibliche Arbeitsdienst friend of the wife.

Hi Jon,

Great pickup for your collection. I obtained two of the para pics myself from Para03. I also have alot of Luftwaffe wedding photos in my collection. Thanks for sharing this photo with us all. - Bill
