Brave soldier from 1944

Hi,

Could someone translate the writing on the back of image number 647? The back of the image is # 648. I can see it was taken in 1944, but that's about it.

R.O.A and K.O.A. ????

I can't figure out what was "earned" in these sentences:

"Es wurden zum R.O.A. ernannt:"
"Zum K.O.A. wurde ernannt:"

Thank you for any help!

"ernannt" (nominated). ernennen - means nominate someone.

He was nominated as R(eserve) O(ffiziers) A(anwärter)

I owe you a beer!

"ernannt" (nominated). ernennen - means nominate someone.

He was nominated as R(eserve) O(ffiziers) A(anwärter)

Right. Allow me to add that the other abbreviation "KOA" stands for K(riegs) O(ffiziers) A(nwärter).

Thank you HLP2008. Much help!
