Hi,
I will also try it:

Dem

Pg (Parteigenossen = NSDAP party member) Johann Berns, (Placename ? ),

im Kriegsjahr 1940 kameradschaftlich

übereignet.

Placename (?), den 10. September 1940

...... Kreisleiter

Salzmann, Ortsgruppenleiter

Sorry, but the name of the Kreisleiter and the name of the town (placename) I cannot identify.

His last name looks more like Birns to me, as there would be no reason for a dot on top of an "e" ?

The place name should be Goch, as Salzmann was the Ortsgruppenleiter there. The first sig is unknown to me as well, but could be identified through the place name?

Hi Tim,

I think you are right. I agree with "Goch". but with "Birns" I have some

problems:


in the recent German phonebook you will not fine o n e Birns entry.

But if you look to find in the town "Goch" the "Berns" entries you will find 13 entries with this name only for Goch.

The name of the Kreisleiter in 1940 the local historians should know.
