Hello Haen!
Ich wünsche Dir alles erdenklich gute zu Deinem 81. Geburtstag.
Verglichen mit mir, bist Du ja doch noch ein 'Junger Spund'. Ich habe meinen 81. vor über 2 Jahren gefeiert
I wish you many more healthy years,
Dein 'alter' Kamerad Rudi S.

German "first" names
It is surprising that as far back as 90 years, parents would give there offsprings multiple first names. In this case, one of the reasons may be, that first: Schmidt is such a popular last name and secondly, in order to avoid confusion, parents decided to call him by his second 'Vorname' for reasons...

Does anyone have any idea about the circumstances? Thanks in ...

Remarks to above post:
This sentence: "Perhaps you could post this picture on your forum" should have been omitted by me. I copied the body of the msg from the one I sent to a moderator a couple of weeks ago but have as of now never received a reply. - Sorry about that;

General Maeder and Cpt. Bussmann in Austria as POWs
I am referring to an interesting picture I saw in the book "Panzerkorps Großdeutschland - Bilddokumentation (Helmuth Spaeter) on page 147". Judging by the background, this picture was taken after the end of WWII in Austria near Brixen. To General Mäder's left (as seen by you right of the g...

Death Cards
It is very possible that the family members of the soldiers (killed in action) received more than 1 Sterbekarte. Some of these recipients (or their children or grandchildren) may have sold them themselves.
Just a thought,

s./l.
I have found another explanation, namely:
S.L. = Sockellafette (pedestal mount).
Would you have the sentence in which this expression appears? That might help.

s./l.
If it has anything to do with a publication, s./l. would stand for "sine loco", meaning that the place of publication is not known.
Hope this'll help.

For Bjoern
Hello Bjoern,

"Rudi did serve in a StuG unit, which generally not is counted as "tank", rather self-propelled artillery. "
This is partly correct. I also was a gunner in Mark IV Panzer.
Viele Gruesse,

Abspannblock
Helmut,
the verb 'abspannen' translates into 'unharness'. A 'Bock' is the wagon driver's seat.
I hope this will help.

Let the veterans talk!
Hello Tom, very well said! I agree with you wholeheartedly! I just ignore the remarks of those people who quite often make provoking remarks. Also, congratulations: in Spearhead's book:"Grossdeutschland - Guderian's Eastern Front Elite", mention is made about http://www.feldgrau.com/; quot...
