he speaks only from a broken "Rad" - which only means a broken "wheel" and this is normally an abbreviation for "Fahrrad" - bicycle. May be also for "Motorrad" but I really very very seldom heard this version.

Thanks again Gerdan - Like I said before I owe you one!

I am having trouble making these out. All I can make out is Rosemarie Gerstner on the top of the first pic -

Thanks again!

Gerdan, thanks for the translation.. Looks thought I had it right, hoped I would read wrong and a good name would come out but not anything is to be found on him. Well thanks for the confirmation Gerdan.

Friendly regards
Bart

Thanks Gerden!

That was really bugging me, I can only understand bits of German. I wonder what he meant by that...
Thanks again,
Jordan

I also could not really find out the meaning of such an information written on the back of the postcard.
Sometimes I even thought this would be a cryptic message...May be only the receiver of the card knew the real meaning.

Thanks pauke & Gerdan! That street address is most helpful. Here are the last 4 of her pictures that have writing on the back. TIA! -

Hi Guys

Please can you help me with the following.

I bought this FJ grouping a while back to a FJ soldier who was killed at the Neva river in 1941.

http://70.87.163.50/forums/showthread.php?t=336860

In the grouping there is this letter that he has written to his mother and I have always wondered what it has said. It looks difficult to read but maybe you guys would be able to tell me what he is saying.

Many Thanks
Shaun

Gerdan,
Thanks again Mate!, .....for your post (answer) #586.

Best regards,
John Pen.

**J Hardy** · 02-09-2010, 09:52 PM

Thanks pauke! Here's another - I am mainly interested in the name. I know that his last name is Maerker but I do not know what his first name is. TIA!
