Post your "translation needed" here

[Hank C.]

I just picked up a banner from an esteemed member here. I am looking for a translation of the banner. It's from the 10 April 1938 elections.

The wording is...

"Dein Dank: Dein Ja am 10. April"

When I use Babelfish it says "Your thanks: Yours on 10 April". It just doesn't sound right.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

It's something like "Your thanks: a Yes vote on 10th of April".

best
Hank

Sorry Hank but I would read "Herne" instead of "Hamm". Do you agree?

Agree. I was a little unsure of "Hamm".

Hello all,

Can someone help me with the last name of the person who is getting married? It looks like Grininger?

Hochzeit von Emil .....




Also, can someone read what is written below?




With kind regards,

Koen.

2) Not sure, but could be "Beraun", German name for the Czech town Beroun.

Trebes
We could probably make it sure when you show as the face of the photo.

[D_Dutch]

Hello Gerdan and Trebes,

Thank you very much for the fast replies!

Regarding Beroun, this might be possible due to the fact that the person depicted on the photographs was a member of SS Panzer-Grenadier-Rgt. 9 "Germania", who was also awarded the Medaille zur Erinnerung an den 1. Oktober 1938.

Here is the photo;



Edit: I was looking through some other photographs of the same person, and I found the word Beroun written on the wall! Only, this time the person has a different rank.

Sunday of the deads ("Totensonntag")

solemn calmness, nice weather, overnight strong frost, starting with sunrise I worked a circuit

Partly the Polish are still bold.
