Blockade Breaker Photo Dedication

Fellow Members:

I have been racking my brain trying to read this. I just can't get it sorted out. Can any one give me some clues?

Thanks!

Joe

Hi Joe;

"Dir zur Erinnerung liebes Calle - Your Fiede

Ede - Holland 1942"

translation: For you to remember me by, my lovely Calle. Your Fiede

Calle is a name

Fiede is short form of Friedrich in northern Germany

(Ede is a town located in Holland, between Utrecht and Arnhem)


Nice to see your collection grow - Regards, Hardy

Is there a nice badge in the photo?

Thanks! I had bits and pieces of it correct--it is nice to get a full translation and confirmation of the words which I thought I'd translated.

I am a knucklehead! I should have put Ede together!! I lived in Soest, Zeist and then Utrecht from 1985-1988 while I was stationed at Camp New Amsterdam (Soesterberg AB).

Thanks for the words about the collection--always trying to expand the Hilfskreuzer Archive --and willing to trade away other photos for HSK--do you have any you'd like to part with?

Joe
