It's the signature of the author, Arnold Weiss-Rüthel as noted on the title cover page. The name flows together and ends with the German double s, Eszett, written as "ß "which might be difficult to decipher if you're not looking for it. Here is info about him https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_Weiss-R%C3%BCthel

Thank you, I just was not sure because it does not look like Arnold to me. Do you have any idea if this document could be from his time at the camp? Is the typed notation "K.L. Sachsenhausen September 1944" correct for camp paperwork?

Regards

The title means "The Day in Camp" and it is verses or poetry written apparently while a prisoner "Gefangenschaft" and dedicate to Grete.

Thank you, do you think this document is actually from the camp or was typed after the war? I only ask because he signed it Sachsenhausen September 1944 under his name.

Please see my edit to my original response. I don't believe this would have been typed during his incarceration but rather after, perhaps in connection with the radio broadcast. The dedication to an individual using the first name would be unusual for a colleague (although it could be) so Grete might be a close friend or relative.

Again, thank you very much for this great information!

It's also interesting to note the correction ("suesser", sweet, is struck out and marked "klarer milder". This is a little unclear if it indicates a change ("klarer" as in "clearer" meaning for the sake of clarity, making "suesser", to "milder" mild. Or, both words should be inserted that would change "sweet" to "clear mild"). Grammatically, it could be either. There are also other marks and the page numbers in pencil. This leads me to believe the copy could be intended for a reading. Maybe Grete was the reader for the broadcast or at another presentation of the poems.

The other documents are additional poems. The first is titled "National Socialists", the second "Evening" .

Here's more info about the author from a book on German mass media 1945-1949. In 1947 he became head of Radio Munich's drama department and as such was charge of the station's radioplays, literary and entertainment programs. https://books.google.com/books?id=dK...listen&f=false

trans

The first one is "application with 3 enclosures to be handled by Kreisleitung (local Party office) in Munich". The second handwritten is "Ortsguppenleiter" and "Ortsgr(uppe) Munich ----- "just like the lower wording on the stamped seal and the street address. The third is "in bronze and silver for 10 and 15 years active membership." The other document is "Oberleutnant Gatzendorf, Airbase Lower Danube."

A general idea of what is discussed in this letter would be appreciated. this may be to difficult to read. The letter is from Karl an FJ who served on Kreta and the letter is to his parents. Anything of this service on Kreta or his military action if mentioned would be of interest. thanks for any help regards graeme
