mmerc20 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) I have a handful of German photos brought back by a US soldier but most don't have any labels on the back however this one is a little different. It's an interesting photo of a ceremony of some sorts and has pencil writing on the back. My problem now though is I can't read the handwriting at all. Is anyone able to understand what is written? Thanks a lot, Mike Edited March 7, 2016 by hucks216
paul wood Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 It's taken at Crailsheim in Baden-Wurttemberg and I think its the 41st Infantry Paul
Bernhard H.Holst Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Hello Mike. I am unsure about your question whether you just cannot read the Suetterlin or also cannot translate. So here goes both, first reading the inscription: Heldengedenktag 41 Crailsheim nach der der Kranzniederlegung. Ich hat einen Kameraden. Translation: Heroes Remembrance Day ( war deads' remembrance day ) 1941 Crailsheim ( locale in Germany ) after the wreath deposition Ich hat einen Kameraden or I once had a comrade, a song paying tribute to the war deaths performed to this day following remembrance ceremonies or burial of military personnel. Bernhard H. Holst
mmerc20 Posted March 3, 2016 Author Posted March 3, 2016 I couldn't read the handwriting and definitely appreciate the translation. That's wonderful. mike
