Mark McM Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Hi All, I thought trying to translate cursive French was problematic... then I met cursive German. Can anyone help translate the general details for this soldier? Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone help translate the general details for this soldier? Many thanks! My German is a bit rough and abbreviations are a pain but I'll give it a try. First lines on page 8a: Ist(?) uber erhaltung(?) van Waffen und Gerat am 2.11.44 belehrt worden Leutnant und Kompanie Fuhrer Translates to something like: has received instructions on how to use the weapon and equipment after having been presented with the weapon and equipment Lazarett page: Reserve-Lazarett Neuwied 23.Dez.1944 Res.Laz.Linz.a.Rh. Teillaz. [...] a.Rh. 30.Dez.1944 3rd and 4th lines are: Reserve Lazarett Linz am Rhein Teillazarett [...] am Rhein 30 december 1944 Page 8b: 5 [...] 2 [...] 1F. [...] 1 Gasplane m. Tasche [...]erhalten: Klappen m. [...], [...] 6.11.44 [...]probe: 22.9.44 Page 8b lists the equipment he got. The Gasplane mit Tasche is a gas cape and pouch. I'm not sure what "Klappen" are. Also, the rest of the writing eludes me. Mayby someone else can add to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hucks216 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Those are ranks and signatures - Gefr (Gefreiter) and then a signature followed by Uffz (Unteroffizier) followed by a signature. If he was killed or died of wounds it wouldn't be entered under a weapon issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
