Hello

Yes I know but "Schuldt" doesn't exist only "Schuld" and for my search and identifaction it is really important to what the placename is. As here the location is more important as there is no timeline and almost the same time two SS brigades/divisions where there in the area and bear the same cufftile That is why I asked 100% sure

Hello Bart

I understand your point of view but I can only read what I see written on the back of the photo.
Even if I would hesitate in deciphering the last two letters after SCHUL... I really would not know how to read this word.

Do you find a place name in that area (what country today?) where the two SS brigades/divisions were in action which is starting at least with SCHUL ?

Germany, Eiffel area is the only thing I could find. The division "Das Reich" was preparing theirselfs to take part in the Wacht am Rhein there and the Sturmbrigade Langemarck was somewhere near there (maybe 2-3 hours driving). The person wears the cufftitle "Langemarck", (could be from the 4. SS-IR "Langemarck or the 6. SS-Stumbrigade "Langemarck") as there is no timeline except the writting on the back "Gefallen bei Schul(dt)".

Thanks, Gerdan
