I would agree with your interpretation - but I don't know if there was a rank or a special description "Techn.(ischer) Offizier" with the Luftwaffe.


Gerdan

I also have no idea...just sorta what it looked like!

Hank and Gerdan,

I thank you guys very much. I am actually very very happy that I have a name to work with now. This could help me pinpoint the time period of when these were taken. Thats weird about the Techn, interesting. Again, thanks a ton. Ive been working pretty hard at trying to identify people in these photos and you have made it alot easier for me Would the Techn. word mean "technician" officer? I dont know either....Im just asking

Also, sorry to be a pain.....but what do you guys think that the blue ink says on the bottom there? England.....sumthin? Are the other words German? Thank You

p/s- I wanted to let you guys know, I found an "Oberst Gottlieb Wolff" for KG4.....still looking tho

in blue ink written I would read: "Lagekarte - Kaerl(?) v(on) Egeland(?) .

I would not like to read "Karte v(on) England" !

Gerdan

haha I dont think so either Gerdan.
So, lagekarte means "map".....correct? it would make sense since there is a map in the photo. But Im not exactly sure what the writing in blue is getting at. haha Thanks again for all your help. I have been able to identify 3 people in the photo grouping so far.

I'd be very grateful for a transcript of what it says in German, and a translation into English, as always.

Thanks in advance,

"Diese schwersten Panzer sollten beim Einbruch sollten beim Einbruch in Europa die Spitze bilden. Heute liegen sie ausgebrannt und vernichtet an den Vormarschstrasse nach dem Osten."

These heavy tanks should be the forefront for invading Europe. Now they are standing

burnt out and destroyed on the advancing routes to the east.

Thanks Gerdan for the translation of #2377 - the words "these heavy tanks" make me smile because the photo is of a T-26 light tank; hardly "heavy"

Your help is always appreciated,

Can anyone tell me what this is? Its a map with a bunch of written papers in it.
Is it militairy or civilian? it came with a large army grouping.
I know that at least the name Schleifenbaum is written on the cover..

1. The cover:


2. First page:


3. Writing on the inside of the cover:


4. Random page in the middle:


5. The last page, which is rotated the other way, so you have to turn the map to read it (in the corner you see the text that was on the inside of the back cover):
