I think I should give some explantion to "Kapitulantenhandgeld".
This was a one-off payment for those soldiers who signed the contract for a long term commitment to serve with the army/navy.
It started with 100 RM (Reichsmark) for 4 1/2 years and ended with 300 RM for those who wanted to stay/serve 12 years.

Help with text
Die zu etatm. Sturmmännern eingereichten Sturmmänner (0.75)
erscheinen nicht im Befehl, da es sich nicht um eine
Beförderung handelt. Diese Männer sind auf einem gesonderten
Blatt der Personalabteilung zur Prüfung und Genehmigung vorzu legen.
Hi there,
does the above mean
The Sturm men are awaiting approval before been promoted to
Sturmmann ?
Thank for any help JamieComment

I believe it states they need to provide more proof to the promotion board, to verify they have done what's needed for promotion.Originally posted by leib1 View Post

Received a packet from his sister a few days ago. Many thanks. He wanted to send his sister a letter, but he lost her address by accidentally tearing/throwing away the envelope (from her). He congratulates her to her “name day” on 25 Nov. (This is a German thing; every day of the year is dedicated to a name – John, Susie, Joseph, Silke, etc.)
He’s been in south Italy 4 weeks. It’s pretty there. But home is prettier. He thinks of home a lot. And they haven’t once reached the target of their campaigns.
Wishes them a merry Christmas and happy new year.

It could be of interest: the packet came from Mering, a town in Bavaria.
