    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!

    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.

    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.
