Hello !
I have a small group of 7 photos, that came with a SB of a soldier who was with 15. and 21. Pz.Div. in Africa.
I sorted them in 3 groups, each of which were probably developed by the same foto-studio (or around the same time ?).
I am still very poor in analyzing photos. The questions I would hope to get some help on :
He was likely captured in Tunis 1943 and his Soldbuch has no photo of him. Therefore I hope for some opininons,
whether there is a face that shows up several times ? Or whether it is likely that he is in one of the photos of group 1,
because of the circumstances.
For the other photos, I just hope for any additional info on possible locations, or interesting details (if there are any).
Many thanks in advance for any help/ideas !
(And in general, I would like to know whether all photos are from that period.)
The first group of photos are the only ones, with some info written on the back.
1.) I think the first one says : "Dein alter Schützenkumpel Heinz ..??.. Freiberg/Sachsen "
(your old buddy soldier Heinz ... )
I assume there were many thousands of this kind of photos. Would it typically to be read :
A photo of YOU presented by me (Heinz), or a photo of ME (Heinz) presented to you (Maximilian) ?
Is it possible to make a statement ?
2.) The other photo in this group mentions an Uffz. Roth. I assume, Uffz. Roth is the soldier in the back ?!
a) would it be likely that the soldier at the weapon is "my soldier" ?
b) Is it possible to say, what kind of weapon that is ?
c) It looks to me that this was on a ship ?! (But I do not understand this, as he was a Pz.Grenadier, later serving as Pz.Pionier)
Any idea what is shown here, would be appreciated .
