Next up are a pair of troopers from what I believe to be Grenadier-Regiment Kronprinz (1.Ostpreußisches) Nr. 1.

Can anyone read this caption on the back?

Thanks - TJ

I would really appreciate some help with translating the text on this Sterebild.

I have attempted to use an on-line translator however, frustration has acheived the upper hand and I appeal to those who use German as a native tongue or have a knowledge far greater than mine.

All help will be very gratefully received indeed.

Regards Richard.

The text gives a short biographical synopsis . The soldier came from a roman catholic family, he was working with the telegraph office (Telegraphenamt) Rheydt. He came as a volunteer to the German Air Force. After he was WIA during a nightfighter Feindflug he came back again.
30 April 1942 he had an aerial combat in the Norchwich (England) area and was KIA.

Gerdan - Thank you very much for your assistance with both pictures!

Hi, Could I please get some help with a translation of the backs of these photos. I am not sure if I have them right and to ignorent me, some of the captions look to be written backwards. For context I believe that they are from SS Div. Nord in Finland. Thank you

The bottom 2 say Finnland '41. And you're right, this scan is "mirrored" so everything is backward.

Gents - Here's the last one for this week, a "Feldgrau" with IR 120.

As we'll see in a moment, this gent has beautiful handwriting (which I'm still unable to read!)

Thanks for the help!

Here's the back. I can see that our friend is named "Georg" and that he is writing to the Welte Family living at #2 Jacob Street In Stuttgart.

Can anyone make out his last name and what his note says?

Thank you very much and Happy New Year to all.

All the best - TJ

Hi TJ,

Bin bereits seit 7. April eingezogen u[nd] nun zum Abmarsch bereit. Auch dieser Schmerz wird vorübergehen!
Gruß u[nd] Wiedersehen.
Georg Banthau or Bantkow or ...?

Uwe - Fancy meeting you here!

Thank you very much for deciphering Georg's beautiful hand writing. I had him down as "Banfleau" but I'll have to look again. I wasn't sure if the first letter was a "B" or a "K".

In any event, thanks again and have a very Happy New Year!

All the best - TJ
