Any idea of 1939 Polish location

http://www.flickr.com/photos/76069915@N06/7788572750/ Hi would anyone recognise the location of this house. The photo came from a 9./IR41 album. A few photos before this there is a grave photo of a man who died on the 5th Sept in Mnichow. So this picture would be from perhaps the 6th onwards. The ph...

Re: Translation help

I assume you are looking for a translation of the term :?: If so, maybe you could give more of the context perhaps the full sentence that it comes from as the context may determine how best to translate it. Its too vague and there is probably half a dozen ways of translating it. It could be "au...

Re: Help with a translation

Babelfish is a hard act to follow :D but here is my effort Through adequate preparation of the gun positions and observation systems a quick turnaround should be guaranteed in consideration of the artillery groups. So I think it's saying that if one group sets up the gun positions and observations p...

Re: What surname?

Knoch,

I'm sure you probably know this already.

Re: What surname?

Hi Postofficeworker,
I don't think it is Knoch for the surname. The "K" for the first name (Kurt) and the "K" later on for Kradsch. look similar but bear no similarity to the first letter of the surname as far as I can see.

Re: u!nknown photo

Sebastian I don't think it's Rishts. I'm not sure if that is even a german name. Maybe somebody with access to a german telephone book could confirm it for you. There is nobody by that name listed in the Volksbund directory although that in itself doesn't mean that it is not a proper name.

Re: Can't identify uniform

This insignia, I think, is exactly like that for the Straßenbahn. The lightning flashes presumably indicated that they are electrified. I don't think you see those on the Reichsbahn. I've since found this link http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=512561 there is a link to a photo ...
