Who is able to dechiffre the back?

The second part is almost illegible, but the first part says "vormarsch rar kam", meaning "advance rarely comes".

I don't agree, first part I think says Vormarsch Kaukasus

I´ll be back next year and Vormarsch Kaukasus is correct. It`s a photo of Reinhold T. I wanted to know the names.
Happy New Year!!!

The three names seem to apply to the 3 men in the background. The first word seems to be Chef, seems to be something+"hef" and the only word I can think of for that is Chef which may refer to the guy on the left.
the second looks like Katadzig ( but not sure about "t" and 2nd "a")
the third looks like Großrock

There seems to have been a guy called Alfred Großrock in wiking

Hello to all

; I agree "Vormarsch Kaukasus. Chef Kraderzug?, Großrock 1942". Cheers. Raúl M

Tigre,

I don't think the second name ends in zug because he has a very distinctive way of writing a letter "u" as can be seen in the word Kaukasus with the line above the "u", whereas its a dot in that name. I don't think now that the name I thought it was is correct I couldn't find anybody with the name Katadzig. Looking at the way he wrote the letter "K" in Kaukasus I'm wondering if the second name begins with a "K" at all, it's very different, although it certinly looks like a modern day "K".

I read it
"Vormarsch Kaukasus
Chef, Kaladzig, Groß-
rock
1942"

Maybe the first line was written before the 3 lower lines, or by someone else, as for me it seems
the handwriting of the lower lines is another than of the first line.

Woop, my fault. Kaukasus fits better

Good job guys!

What about the meaning of "Groß-rock"?

Großrock is a surname and refers to Obersturmführer Alfred Großrock - RKT

I found it out: Chef is Johannes Mühlenkamp (leader SS-Pz.Abt. 5), Großrock is Großrock. And the third name must be Kolotschi or Kolotzi, which too had been a platoonleader at this time.
Cheers

SS-Untersturmführer Alfred Großrock was from 6/SS Panzer Regt 5 when he received his Knight's Cross on 12th August 1944. He died in Russian captivity on 5th April 1945
