The back of the last picture. A translation would be very helpful

Hi Jason;

Something like "Aufnahme: Sonsabd. (don't know what it stands for), 5.8.39, gegen Mittag (almost noon), am Bug der Levance (must be the name of the ship), auf der Uberfahrt nach Königsberg"

[Tim DC]

Second picture could be translated as "Picture: Sunday 6.8.39 at 13.00 PM, ... (must be a name or something ?) at a blistering heath in the port/harbour of Königsberg"

Hi Jason;

Thank you very much Tim . I think that translates to something like, "Picture taken,Saturday(?) August 5th 1939 at almost noon. On the bow of the Levance after crossing towards Königsberg" Does that look right?

[Tim DC]

No problem Jason.

Your translation is almost correct. "after" should be "while".

Here is one I just bought off of the estand.

This is an cool photo. We have a musician observing an artillery group.

And for my #1000 post a picture of a musician running. There is some writting on the back that may help me figure out what is happening in the picture if anyone can translate it.

[JasonS]

Here is the inscription. Anyone able to tell me what it says?

Please keep posting on this thread any pictures you have of a German band or musician. Drop me a line if you have any to sell too.

i've got some photo's but i can't put them on the forum

To post photos Tex, you need to be an association member. Best $25 I have spent on this hobby.

These next two pictures are from the Time Life book "The SS". I wish I owned the originals to these but this will have to do. Enjoy and keep posting if you have any German band or musician photos.
