    Wer leben will, der kampfe also, und wer nicht streiten will in dieser Welt des ewigen Kingens, verdient das Leben nicht.

      marriage

      Marriage by proxy is when the groom is in the field and the bride back home and a marriage ceremony is performed "long distance". Doesn't make for much of a wedding night....

        interesting...
        seems very strange with the Swastika laden "altar" with what appears to be a photo of Hitler surrounded by MG's and K98's....
        definitely not a fun wedding night

        it says rank and name?.. what are they?

          I try to translate that very pathetically sentence.

          Who wants to live has to fight and who does not want to fight/struggle in this world of eternal

          (Kingens ??) war does not merit life.

            struggle ?

                Sorry, it is not "See" - lake but "Wehr" - dam/weir

                  After "Ausmarsch" should be writte a name starting with "A..." (Arame??) - than Hptm.

                        " Kf." could mean abbreviated "Kraftfahrer" - car/truck driver....

                          "Fj." could be abbreviated "Fallschirnjäger" - paratrooper

                            In your examples, I agree with Gerdan.

                            The Kf. is Kradfahrer -- note the other entries that a dispatch rider wears: the overcoat/rain coat, goggles, over-gloves.

                            The Fj. is Fallschirmjäger -- note the leather gloves (lined and unlined), knee pads, and .... Fj Helmet!

                              Following up:

                              gef. [gefüllt] = lined ["filled"]
                              ungef. [ungefüllt] = unlined ["unfilled"]

                              St. -- don't know. The full citation is "Paratrooper Leather gloves with St. ... Lined/Unlined". So, what goes with leather gloves? Steel? Stripes? I can't find it on Google!
