It says SIEG HEIL MEIN FÜHRER BRATWURST OKTOBERFEST BIER
The bottom part says: for grandmother
It says you're a faggot op
Somebody else mentioned that it might be in an older German dialect. Is this possible?
Yeah, it also sounds a little bit formal
right, the rest is a Name
Right on, why do you say it sounds formal??
All the stuff above "for grandmother" is just a name?
This is the other side if anyone cares
wow... he actually looks handsome as fuck. sucks he had to die in some shitty war
We don't, but thanks anyway
Thanks! Thats my great-grandfather. Just trying to get some more info on him. I know he was captured by the soviets in '45 and held till '54.
9 years as a soviet PoW... fuck

Maybe, it's looking like maybe Ill never know haha
Valjevo is a town in Serbia and thats a Serbian uniform. Could be a volksdeutche serving in royal yugoslav army.
Yea, he was captured immediately after getting his wagon train to Germany, all the way from Yugoslavia. The allies did strafing runs on them, killing their horses and blowing up their wagons. It was mostly women, children, and the old.
I love all their old stories
Yes! Theyre from Rudolfsgnad, Yugoslavia. This was before he was forced to fight for Germany. We'rr Danibe-Swabians, so they basically had him by the balls hah
This looks like Sütterlin

My grandmother is writing this style as well. It's like an on-the-fly encryption for me (and merely every german today).
Love the stash.. It's gonna be a trend some day, ill tell ya!
I can feel it in my bones!
Woah, now thanks for that man. I recall someone mentioning this as well. Perhaps you all are right?
My great uncle was captured in Berlin at the end of the WW2. Spent many years in Siberian pow camp. Wife remarried then x years later turns up on the doorstep. he had some pretty crazy stories
Titos jacket. Fuck the partisans!
Share a couple?
My great uncle was in the SS, and was one of the first people into the soviet union during the invasion supposedly. I was told they went into the towns at night and silently bayonetted everyone in their sleep
Overall he was a nice guy though
It says "Andenken von ??? Franz für Großmutter"
Translated "Memory/souvenir from ??? Franz to Grandmother"
Ripping bottom off pants to blow your nose before you go outside in the cold for 12+hours, don't do this and snot freezes basically said people would sneeze or blow their nose and whole thing would rip off.
The story of him staying behind in Berlin with a handful of other men and letting the others try and escape was pretty chilling, changed out of his ss officer uniform because once captured he would be tortured and killed with out a doubt. Him and his men stayed silent about who he was the whole time.
Mostly just survival stories, I was very young when when he was alive. But very strong man, presence filled the room, and although he lived in Australia still believed hitler had been doing the right thing.
Holy shit, THANK YOU user. Thank you so much
Did what they had to do I guess
I can't identify that word in front of Franz. Looks somehow like "frith" or "frish" but that doesn't make any sense
Frisch? Thats their name! Franz Frisch!
