even when it is difficult to translate such "strong message" I will try it:

"The eternal is silent, loud the evanescence, silent god's will is passing earth's quarreling!"

Thank you Gerdan!

The HJ triangle is "Ost Sudetenland" I think, as the town Leitmeritz is in Bohemia.

Otto Hupp

"Otto Hupp" is the name.

Hi thanks for the last name there. Could you make out the word below his name or the date? What about that blue X? With the HJ, could you make out what it said on the back?

Hi Gerdan,

Thanks. Are you able to translate any of the other images I've put up?

On the Otto Hupp photo it looks like "Kliche" to me. The blue "x" would not mean he died in my experience. That would most likely be a "+" and the date of death.
