Stogie Rick stopped by for Show N tell, so I'm posting this for him-- this is the cover letter transmitting an infantry assault badge to the parents of a dead soldier, from the soldier's company commander. The expressions of sympathy and sentiments expressed here are devoid of Nazi jargon.
Both Ricks would like to thank François for checking the Feldpost number for this, identifying the unit as 4th Company of Infantry Regiment 379. I find that regiment in the 169th Infantry Division, on the Lake Verman-Verman River-(town of) Verman sector of the Finnish Lappland front against Murmansk.
