Hi,

is anybody able, to read the rank and the name of the recepient? Thank you!

My mother, my three older brothers and I left Treptow (Трептов) on 04. March 1945, while Soviet tanks arrived on the southern outskirts of the city.

I would rather transcribe it as Sukhetskiy because it's much more accurate to pronounce it like that in English.

Thank you both very much. I try to pronounce it in German.

You are really the best when it comes to research!
