Sind jetzt aber noch nicht wo wir hin mussen. Wir haben hier eine Hitzl(?) das ganz arg ist. Nun für heute schluss und alles gute euer Sohn Basti.
Recht viele Grüsse an alle Nachbarn recht viele Grüsse an Kibs(?) (2 other names?) Auf Wiedersehen!

Dear Parents and Gunther, just wanted to write a quick letter. I'm healthy and doing well. Hope the same for you. We've been traveling 8 days and still not at destination, couldn't write during that time. We're having (or experiencing) a (not sure what the word "hitzl" is...maybe it's "hitze", or heatwave) that's really something. I'll close now for today. Your son, Basti. Heartfelt greetings on all the neighbors and (some named friends).

2nd letter: Really about the same thing...he confirms receiving 4 letters from them. Still a heatwave...10 days underway...he saw alot underway...almost the same as first letter.

best
Hank

about this picture showing us a capture of a RAF pilot

Hello to all,

Is there any chance to know what is write on the back of the picture ? It's german language but I'm unable to read the caption, moreover I'm not familiar with the ''Goethe'' language.

Thanks in advance
Loic

I will start with the text but only the first part I can read. The other part I can't read because the writing is too bright for me. May be other are more skilled.

" Das sind die Piloten von der ersten Englischen Maschiene die ich brennend (?) gesehen habe, noch in Belgien..."

These are the pilots of the first English aircraft I have seen burning, still in Belgium.

I will try to add some more word I think I could indentify from the second part of the text:

"Ein Leutnant, Feldw.(ebel) u.(nd) Gefü? ... schwere Brandwunden" - A Leutnant, Feldwebel

and Gefü? .. (Geschützführer ???) - deep burns.

Thanks a lot Gerdan,

I managed to make some resolutions arrangements.
Here the link in which you will certainly read a little bit better.

Again thank you
Loic

[Gran Sasso]

and Gefü? .. (Geschützführer ???)

IMO Gefr. - Gefreiter

[Gerdan]

Now with the better scan I can read also the last abbreviation - it is "Gefr." - Gefreiter as Gran Sasso told us.

Thank you very much Gerdan, it's more clear for me now.
