Please help me translate this letter from a SS das reich soldier.

In brief, he tells his parents he received their packet, sent them a packet with coffee, cigars, nylons, and stamps. He asks if all his stamps are still at home. He apologizes for not coming home for a visit, but says all leaves were cancelled at that time, and there will be a big homecoming when they can all be together again someday.
Other than that, he says, everything is pretty much the same for him. He sends hugs and kisses.

Many thanks Gerdan and Reino!! I thought being a Luftwaffe Soldbuch, the abbreviations "Kf." were "Kanonier Fliege". Thank you very much for the clarification and for teach me.


Best regards.

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.

I read Im Zeltlager Sommer 1944 and Nach dem Ausritt Ostern 1944. A tent camp summer 1944 and after going for a ride Easter 1944. Could you show the photos please so I can see if I won a prize???

[Admiraal]

Thanks! and what about the word below? is that a name?

To bad, i was hoping at least one of the photo's was made during the Ardennes offensive..
I'm not sure in which unit the soldier was in 1944, i think Grenadier-Regiment 57.
