The Prussian Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hi Rick!Tghank you very much for your help! Me, german born, I have problem with that "S?tterlin" script. If it?s written clearly, it ain?t no problem, but sometimes... no chance...Thanx a lot again!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0009 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 The missing word is "Suvalki". It's a town somewhere in Belorussia. I think Grossherzog visits positions on Eastern front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Hi 0009!Thank you for your answer. That?s a blame to me (german), not able to read this... Now I?ll have to look, which units were there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Well, you have an excellent excuse if you weren't in school in 1943 or very very weird like me. (Actually, Sutterlin is about the same as English handwriting from the 1600s, so I got "two for the price of one" here in old New England....)

The Prussian Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 (edited) Well, I haven?t beemn in school 1943 (born 67), but I think, I?m as weird as you, mate... The proper S?tterlin ain?t no problem, the problems start, if they wrote it fast. In Germany we say, "he writes like a doctor writing your prescriptions" That means, no one else could read it, but himself...
