Post your "translation needed" here

[Bernd Wiedemann]

Hi Bernd,

Thanks for the translations. On # 187, were you able to make out any of the names of the comrades who wanted a copy of the photo? Can anyone see if they can find Günter Brockmann in the Volksbund registry or wherever the names of the fallen would be? I'd appreciate that. Thanks again Bernd.

Regards,
John

Hi John,
the only one I can read for sure is the first of them:

Lt. Hildebrandt

2 I would guess: Albert + Jürgens

Danke schon,

I'll have a go:

Thanks Norm,
That'll do just fine.

Gebirgsjager

Here's a portrait of a Gebirgsjager that I just received. I believe the word on the back is the month the photo was taken in 1942. However, I'd like someone to confirm that. Here's the front of the portrait.

Now for the reverse.

I realize that Bauer was the photographers name, but is Saalfelden the place where it was taken? If so, where is Saalfelden?

[Gerdan]

As the soldier is a Gebirgsjäger I would mean it is Saalfelden in Austria where the photograph was taken. Normally such studio photographs were taken near the place where he or his family lived.

Gebirgsjager

Hi Gerdan.

I thought that it was where he was from or where he had trained. What does the back of the photo say? It looks like it says August 1942.

Got that right.

Saalfelden is the location of the photographer

[Gerdan]

There is still today a Foto Bauer in Saalfelden:

As I told you I think he was living in or near Saalfelden.

Saalfelden

Hi,

Gerdan, that's interesting that the photographer is still in business after all these years isn't? Like I said, before you told me you believed he was from Saalfelden, that's what I thought as well. I agree with you that Saalfelden was his hometown. I'm glad that I was able to read the writing on the back of the photo correctly. Too bad he didn't identify himself. Thanks for the help everyone.

"High German" translation needed please.

Hello, Is there anyone who can read High or Old German text? If so, could you please give a translation of this? I know it is alot, so a loose translation would be o.k.
All I can make out is that it is signed by the Polizei.

Danke schon,
Thanks,
John Pen.
