„Ub. Zusatzlehrgang v.“ – I think the last letter is a „v“ with a point, but I´m not really sure …

Sure, the picture with the battleship „Schleswig-Holstein“ was taken on the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Kanal (now: Nord-Ostsee-Kanal) in Germany. But it isn´t the “Hollentauer Hochbruecke” as written – it is the “Levensauer Hochbruecke”!
See here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levensau_High_Bridge
Many postcard photos with other battleships were taken there also.
Here you can see some old pictures of the only 1.8 Miles away “Prinz-Heinrich-Bruecke”, the so called “Hollentauer Hochbruecke” (demolished in 1992):

At the end of this photo is written „La Guaira”
This is a city in Venezuela with a big international harbour. The battleship “Schleswig-Holstein” was there at a journey in January 15th/16th 1939
So I think the writer – I read his name as “Jochen”, but I´m not sure) – send this photo home to Annemarie from this place.

… or „Kradfahrer“ = motorcyclist

I think the listed clothes here are especially for motorbikers than for a car or truck driver.
Isn´t it so, Gerdan?

Many thanks guys for all the answers. "Kf." could be "Kanonier Flieger" (Gunner flyer) because it is equipment the Luftwaffe?
Another question that comes to me are the abbreviations F.T. regarding Flieger-Kopfhaube. What do it mean the abbreviations?

Without Earphones

Just googling ... but found this:

so I'm "guessing" the o. F.T. means ohne Funker [or Flieger?] Telephon Gerät. Or whatever the real German word for earphones is.

Is it possible to enlarge the detail of the coat-of-arms displayed on the bow as well as the possible name of the ship on the dark strip directly below the tall mast (at deck level)?

I will make Friday what better detail pictures for you.

No! “Kf.-Schutzmantel”, “Kf.-Übnerhandschuhe”, “Kf.-Schutzbrille” and “Kf-Überstrümpfe” aren´t equipment for the Luftwaffe.
Those are equipment for the „Kf.-Dienst” = “Kraftfahrer-Dienst” or “Kradfahrer-Dienst”
But like I said before – and Gerdan agreed – these things here are better for motorcyclist than for car or truck drivers.
Why so many secrets, Frank? Why you don´t scan the whole page? Take a look the right hand side of your scan beside the gear. We can see the lower part of the word “Kf.-Dienst” and in front of this the letter of the position “E”.
Now it is clear for me: What you show as in small pieces is a part of a “Soldbuch” – the category "Empfangene Dienstbekleidung" (“Received service clothing”). Excerpt: … D. „Fliegersonderbekleidung“ – E. „Kf.-Dienst“ – F. „Fallschirmjägerdienst“ – G. „Gebirgsdienst“ … and so on.
Maybe yours is from the Luftwaffe – I don´t know. But your interpretation "Kanonier Flieger" I never hear before. Try google … no results!

Sorry for my worse English, please.

… and also note: Position G. „Gebirgsdienst“ (see above) is for mountain trooper.

Here the German text:

" Entlassungsverhandlung am 20.1.42 als Kf. (Kraftfahrer) nach Berlin, N 20, Wriezener Strassr. 28

von der Kraftfahr-Park-Ersatz-Kompanie 3, Frankfurt/Oder, gem.(äß) Verf.(ügung) W.(ehr)

B.(ezirks). K.(ommando) Bln. (Berlin) I v.(om) 14.1.42 wg. (wegen) UK-(Untauglich zum

Can't find that he has been deloused, sorry pauke. I think "Entlassen" - not Entlaust...

„Kleinbildkamera
Leica m. gekuppelten Entfernungsmesser
(Lichtstaerke nicht unter 1:3,5)
oder
Retina II von Kodak
(Lichtstaerke 1:2 = Rm 235,-
Lichtstaerke 1:2,8 = Rm 185,-)“

The writer noticed something about two photocameras: One from the famous Leica manufacture and the model „Retina II“ from Kodak with different lenses (1:2 – 1:2,8 – 1:3,5).
“Rm 235,-“ and “Rm 185,-“ are selling prices. “Rm” = Reichsmark (German currency at this time)
