GreyC Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) Hi, the man on the front was a Bavarian officer and sculptor. Maximilian Hippolyt Joseph, Graf von Courten * München, 02.01.1892 † München, 22.04.1939 this photo was probably given to a nurse or a doctor after the death of the gentleman on the front. it is dedicated by the sister of Graf Max The text transscribes as: Zur Erinnerung an Ihre selbstlose - aufopfernde - verständnisvolle Pflege. Die dankbare Schwester Elisabeth Courten Graf Max von Courten gestorben 22. April 1939 in seinem 47. Lebensjahr Translation: As a reminder/recognition to your unselfish - devotional sympathetic care. The thankful sister Elisabeth Courten Graf Max von Courten died 22nd April 1939 in his 47th year. GreyC PS: The uniform does not seem to be the usual Luftwaffen-Uniform. It doesn´t seem to be the uniform of the predecessor Deutscher Luftsportverband. Some specialist should know more. If this were the usual Luftwaffen uiform the collar rank insignia would make him an Obergefreite. Edited September 9, 2017 by GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
