Hi Guys,
I have a few photos in my Kampfgeschwader 4 general Wever grouping that have writing on the reverse ......and I am really interested in what it says. A translation to English would be great.....but I would be just as happy with a German translation. Thanks to anyone who can help in advance. Looks like they had very bad handwriting tho.

Thank you (probably Gerdan) for any help in my research of Geschwader 4 'general wever'. If it can help identify even one of the men in my grouping I would be very happy.

# 2344

1) Einsatzbesprechung mit Oberst - briefing with Oberst/Colonel

# 2345

2) Der schriftliche Einsatzbefehl ist gekommen - the written mission order did arrive

3) Der Wetter Frosch (?) - the meteorologist

Nice....thank you so very much Gerdan. You have a good eye....these are not very legible but somehow you always figure them out.
#2 The "written mission order arrived" one makes sense. I will post the photo. it is of luftwaffe General wever men recieving papers in a war room.

#3 "The meteorologist" is a photo of a Sonderfuhrer from KG4, so it could make sense as well since sonderfuhrers did alot of odd jobs for the unit.

Once again, thank u for your help. Very interesting for me.

Gerdan,
I have one more from this group....but I think it may only be a partial sentence or phrase. Someone had trimmed the white border around the photos, so i think some of the letters have been cut off on this one. But I could be wrong?? So if you dont mind giving this one a try? thanks

[Gerdan]

A bit difficult:

"...hr von mir

..autiker ?/..antiker ? (Kag? 7..

Fihrt??"


Gerdan

[12thPanzer]

thank you very much Gerdan. You have been a great help. I have some more of this grouping coming in the mail.....so I hope it isnt a problem to ask for your help in the future. Many thanks

Could you identify him by a photo - if someone has one?


Gerdan

Well, I do have photo's of Hauptmann Adam, but none of Generalmajor Adam.


Also, is it possible to translate one word of the postcard below? I have no idea what the occupation of this person is, and maybe this word might be the clue.

For as far as I can read it is this;

Ernst Ende
...., Schloss Wedendorf
Rehna (Mecklenburg)

I thought it could be "Diener" as in servant, but, then the dot would be on the wrong place.




Below is the front of the postcard

[Gerdan]

The person is a "Diener" - a servant/butler - you are right.

Hello Gerdan,

Thanks. He has some quite unusual clothing then for a butler, he looks more dressed like a hunter.

With kind regards,

Koen.

[Gerdan]

Koen,

sometime the denomination "Diener" is more than only a butler or servant. Indeed he is dressed like a hunter, even with the prominent hunting knife.

I also think that he had the function of a hunter.

This is the place/ castle where the butler/hunter was working:
