You have too various pics of paris, montmarte, etc and maybe one of strasbourg

GREAT grouping!

The cigarette card style photo posted following the photo with the Feldpost drop box shows Hitler at Neuschwanstein.

A later photo shows the Lion Mound on the Waterloo battlefield.

Hi Alex,

Wow, what a find.
I can read a lot, just have to figure out a way to place it.

"T", "A","F" and"W" stands most likely for Anlage ... meaning the FHQ's.
One pic states Muenstereifel and that was The FHQ "Felsennest".

Dienststelle 33899 was
(Mobilmachung - 1.1.1940) 1. Wachkompanie-Fuehrerhauptquartier.
Later
!.Schuetzenkompanie-Fuehrer-Begleit-Bataillon

Feldpostnummer on the Letter 26326:
14.Kompanie Infanterie-Regiment 29.

More later

Cheers

Falk

Hello Falk,

great info....that gives me some more angles to dig into

Thank you very much.

Very NICE grouping USA-Alex

Congratulations

The unknown building with the colonnaded entrance is the Old Reichskanzlei in Wilhelmstrasse.
Superb group. Thank you for showing it.
Max.

Hello Max...once again, you nailed it

Here is a PC from the old Reichskanzlei....without the patio above the entrance.

HI

he could be married during the war - that;s why is not written in wehrpass

"w" undet the pictures could mean - Wolfchanze - Hitles quater in Poland.

I found in Wikipedia that Hitler was at the Wolfsschanze for the first time on 6/23/41, at that time Karl was with the 14.Kompanie Infanterie-Regiment 29. So it is very unlikely that "W" stands for Wolfsschanze...?

I think it more likely means "Wolfsschlucht".....Hitler was there from 6/6/40 - 6/27/40 (thanks to Falk for the information), that would match with the entry in Karl's Wehrpass" 6/5/40 – 6/25/40  Schlacht in Frankreich (Battle in France)".


Since the Wehrpass is a "Zweitschrift" from 11/5/41, would they still write unmarried in there even if he was married in the meantime?

Karl's grave along with many other such cemeteries will have been trashed by the Russians when they retook the area.

he is however recorded on the Volksbund database

Karl-Otto Möckel

Hello Simon,

thank you very much for the information....that would explain the two different grave markers.

That is a wonderful and very interesting grouping.

Thank you very much for the great information's.
I'm still trying to figure out all the different locations, your informations are therefore highly appreciated

Very nice group,
thanks for sharing

GREAT grouping!

Thanks for the Info.....
Here is a photo of the Lion's mound these days and the one in the album.

You're very welcome Rob....

Alex-


Could this be Rudlof Hess? Is there a date given for the photo?

I tried to look behind the photo, I could see "20" and some other writing which I could not identify.The "20" was not in combination with a date or something like that...it seems like "20" was maybe a codename for one of Hitlers FHQ's? You could see the "20" throughout the second album.....as said before, 99% of the photos have writing on the back but since they are glued into the album it's almost impossible to read it....

The next few days I will try to peek behind every photo as good as possible, I may should use a small mirror or something like that

It's Rudolf Hess. I'm almost sure. Nice group Alex. Take good care of it

Best regards

Erwin

Thanks a bunch

It's definitely Hess.
Max.

Rob

It looks like Hess to me as well.....now that I got a hint
Great eye all of you


Thank you very much for all the great information so far, keep it comming

[USA-Alex]

I found this at Wikipedia....it is a model of the "Wolfsschlucht 1" in Bruly de Pesche, Belgium....

I think that could be a good match for this photo....note the marker and the building in the back.
