Thank you again Gerdan! Is the man in the photo a doctor?
Hmmm, hard to say, but I believe the dedication on the back is from the Doctor to the Unteroffizier.
or is Dr. a first name?
No, unless his parents really wanted to lay out his life path from day 1.

Unless it was nighttime, or the weather was bad, and you were running out of gas - then it was a sweaty nightmare, like a monkey f*ing a skunk.

Can someone translate this for me please? Am I right in thinking it relates to a gunshot wound (I.G.) to his upper arm (O'arm) or is it something totally different?

Can anyone decipher the reason what the cause of death is?
All I can make out is: vermütlich infolge ..... (probaly due to ...). Perhaps something with vergiftung?
I can read "vermutlich infolge Schlir....vergiftung". He's believedto have died following some sort of poisoning (and it may be a natural sort of poisoning from infection or some such).
