Can anyone help with a translation of the caption on the back of a photo showing two Luftwaffe personel (with what appears to be Krim shields on their arms)??

Thanks!!

Let me try this again....here is the front:

And the text on the back:

I hope this comes through this time

I think the top line translates as Two good comrades..somthing??..in May 1944, with Love ??

Mmmm, seufz... was the water warm?

Very warm...a most enjoyable day....

By the way there are rumors within Cayman that a German U Boat landed spies here during WWII and at least one Kriegsmarine surviver washed up on the shoreline alive. Someone on the island claims to have found an ID tag with the outline of an Iron Cross on it (the ID tag survived but the Iron Cross corroded away completely leaving just a mark on the tag).

Anyway...I have discovered with Yahoo that you have to make the photos "Public"...so finally...I think you might be able to see the album titled Occupation.

Ahhh many thanks Frederick...

I was hoping the word ment "good" friends rather than "gay" friends...

Very interesting!

Yes, I would suggest handling that photo with gloves and tweezers.

ewwwww....they do seem to be standing rather close to each other..kinda in one anothers personal space.

Now you mention it there was a sticky patch on the photo

come on...
would a picture with the title "zwei gute Kameraden" - good comrades be persuasive if there was 5 meters space between them?
it looks a bit strange, but hey, these were hard times.
