Help with translations on three photos

Hi, I need some help translating the back of these three photos. If it is of any help, all three are dated to late 1942 and come from the SS-Wiking Division. I know the one just lists the names of two Unterscharfuhers but I can not make out the names. The one dated November 7, 1942(?) is a small unit photo and the one with the most writing is of two NCO's looking at a truck. Thanks

Rick,

it seems to be a literary or poetic text, not dealing with reality, not military at all, a fantasy text like a fary tale. The handwriting is not so easy to read.

I think I can identify a second name on the first page "Kohlschmidt" and the word "Notizen" (notes). May be also "Dr." Schleifenbaum?

1) "Die ganze Gruppe im Kasernenhof 7.7.42" - The entire group in the barrack yard

2) "Am ersten Morgen nach der Ablösung - Waschen, Rasieren, Entlausen - 16.9.42 -

Kabarolinosskaja - First morning after beeing displaced - washing, shaving, delousing

" Endlich abgelöst" - finally taken over

3) " Uscha Kouze + - Uscha Hölken - Sept. 1942"

2) the place name should be "Kabarolinskaja".

I found an other soldier from the 5. SS-Panzer Div. "Wiking" who was KIA at that place:

" †14.8.42 Kabarolinskaja

Weiß, Friedrich Ostuf. , Musikzug/Art. Rgt., Uspenskaja" (grave site)

The same guy I found in an other list:

Friedrich Weiss.
Member SS(nr. ??).
SS-Obersturmführer.
At the beginning of 1942 he served with the Musikzug from SS-Panzer-Artillerie-Regiment 5
within the SS-Division(mot.)‘Wiking’.
Died(KIA)on 14-8-1942 at Kabarolinskaja.

Rick,

se the little brown sheet of paper in the right corner below:

It starts with

" Thomas Mann: Die Buddenbrooks

Gustav Frenssen: Jörn Uhl"

These are two German (famous) novelists, jus an example.

poschmeim, leyzer, prill, graf schweinity, schnbert, wo: klieber ???


3. 8 rad armoured car


4.NSKK


5. just need a fluent translation on this stamp please


thanks in advance for your great work

1. "As we were getting our food" more or less.
2. Schübert, not schnbert. I don't think the "wo" and "klieber" go together. I think he remembered Klieber's name at a later time, and added.
3. Deutsche Panzer Spähwagen beim vormarsch in die Steppe Pologi-marinpot(?). Herbst 1941 (German armored car during the advance through the Steppes of Pologi-marinpot, Autumn 1941.
4. Heinrich Thum
Maschinenschlosser
Gundersbach b.(ei) Landstuhl
Pfalz
5. A photo of the New Augsburger Newspaper by K. Lischer

@ Monty:
On the morning of 22 June
The first prisoners
Welcoming speech
Refugees cross the advance roads ("the roads we advance on")
Unstopping advance despite enemy artillery.

Friendly greetings by ("courtesy of") the victorious German Army.
Estniche freedom fighters from the "Erna" unit (I don't know if Estniche is misspelled "ethnic" or perhaps Estonian. Pic of the front might help)
Our "Eagle Eyes"
(again)
A captured Anti-aircraft gun near Kose-Risti
A victim of the bolschevist speed-propaganda (not entirely sure how to translate that; "hetzen" is to hurry, or prod along)

Trying to run down a possible family member who was KIA during the war. I found an old Spar Buch (bank book) which has entries from 1937 thru 1942. I can't make out the name or address. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

I believe these are a type of bearer passbook which, in theory, allows anyone in possession of it to conduct banking transactions. In this case, issuance was through Stadtsparkasse zu Beelitz

Here the German text:

"Herrn Rudolf Paul, Steinsetzer, Berlin, Bruckerstr.(asse) 186"

Steinsetzer - his profession: paver. "Paul" is his family name
