Dear colleague,
For a very long time I have nothing heard from you. Now I am no more in “Old Dinkelsbühl” but in Nurenburg, called the “old Noris”. This is the town where great German artists have lived in, f.i. (for instance) Albrecht, Dürer, …., Visher, Hans Sachs. Nowadays it has the large renown to be the scene of the “Reichsparteitage” of New Germany.
In the hope hearing of you, I am yours Matth. Rohsmann
N:urnberg-S, Turmstr. 16/I b/Kuch

just to add the missing word after Dürer:

it's "Peter Visher" a famous German sculptor.

Here's a Luftwaffe Leutnant, I think that's his rank. Could someone translate his name, along with his birth and death dates please.

[StuGIII]

Here's the writing on the reverse of the above image.

Here's his wedding photo. His wife looked attractive in my opinion.

May I impose on a learned colleague to translate these wehrpass entries.

Many thanks in advance for any assistance.

Regards, Mike.

Dear Hank & Gerdan:

Thanks so much for you two Gents great help, I had those postcards for years, and always queries what was the story of the postcards, but as a non English or German speaking foreigner, it will be impossible for me to read the handwriting.

Interesting to know the story of people who live in those days.

Thanks for the hard work again!

Best Regards
Joe

Hi Pauke,

Thanks for the translation. I was pretty sure that he was a leutnant and that his first name started with an A and his last began with a K. That's something he was killed just 51 days before he would have turned 21. I wish there was a way to find out his unit and the circumstances of his death. Do you think that he was a fighter pilot?

Your Alfred Kemmer is not listed in the Volksbund list.


Gerdan

[StuGIII]

Hi Gerdan,

Thanks for looking him up. The Volksbund list isn't complete is it? So, the inscription may be accurate, it's just his name didn't make the list. The lousy thing is, the person who wrote the inscription, didn't write his unit. So there's no way to know where he died or if his death was combat related. For all we know he could've tripped and fallen down some stairs, breaking his neck. Unfortunatly, the wedding portrait doesn't show him wearing any badges, so he could've been a fighter pilot, a bomber crewman or he could've sat behind a desk. Though I do get the feeling his death was combat related.
