Mr. S's Photo Collection

My apologies and well spotted skipper. I meant Finish, not Danish.
My geography was never that good! I seem to remember could do better on my old school report card with that subject.:i_surrender:
This is the final portrait photo that I purchased on the same day, from the same person. I think you will like this one.
regards John

 

Hi Carl, USMC, as I said in a previous thread, unfortunately my geography isnt that good.Is Kurzburg near Wewelsburg castle? Time to research.

regards John

 

your wish is my command: actually it's not Kurzburg, but Würzburg, Bavaria and the castle is the St Buckard Festung at Marienberg.

 

prayers for you and Dad and the Familie John I know my Dad did not come out of ICU/TCU after a long month of heart surgery where he died this past June.

hang in there, thought the smilie would be fun to start off the new year hopefully on a better course, glad 2009 is gone forever...

will wait for the reverse of the pics

 

Nice pics John can't wait to see the back with the Süterling writing

 

Thanks again Erich, my heart goes out to you too mate with your dad.
Not easy for any of us.
I will post them shortly skipper/ erich. Just going to reduce these now.

 

sadly John and not wishing to get OT on your thread but the horror is not over yet and am dealing with mentally sick and inept in-laws, one with Lymphoma

 

I put the backs to the fronts, more to come.
regards John
sorry. I will try again, pics didnt post.

 

My thoughts with you too guys , Even though I will never be able to share your sufferings, I know what you mean as I've been through it before with my own dad

 

I will need an enlargment but I can read "Dein Kamarad" + signature for sure

 

Thanks Skipper, your a gent. I made a right botch of posting the reverse of these pics. I will try again. Heres hoping!

Here is the reverse of the soldbuch wehrpass photo. I really like this pic, for all the reasons pointed out by my fellow member.

 

Afew more.

 

Hi John, sorry I couldn't answre your question but thankfully, Skipper did ;-)) My Geo of Germany aint too boo coo either ;-))

I have I'd'd two of four Castles in the four pics I have of them in wartime. One is Heidelberg Castle-Heidelberg) another is the Castle at Werfen in Austiria (where they filmed Where Eagles Dare at) but the other two I have I have not much of a clus except that one might be in Poland as it's an early war-Wintery photo-and the final one-I have no idea where that one is located or what its called?

 

WOW I am impressed! Thats absolutely beautiful. Thanks Skipper. Carl I went to Heidelberg castle this year for the first time. The architecture is something else in red sandstone. There wasquite a bit of masonry work going on when we went there. Scaffolding everywhere. Quite a few small museums within the castle, Chemistry type medicine and the biggest two wine barrels in the world.

 

The first pic tells what unit they are and in this case-Guard Unit at Kaserne ???chen. The other pic is one in Bad Tolz.

Excellent photos none the less ;-))

 

Its Munchen Carl, I am about to post more of the pics I got in this bunch.

 

I can't make out all of the words on these either but here is what I can make:

Pic Nr 1) looks like it says that they are ina place called: Rudolfzell?

Pic nr. 2) Unkn, Unkn, June 1940 at Kaserne ???chen.

That's the best I can do with someones version of a Doctors handwriting ;-))

 

The ones reverses I havent posted merely have the photo paper mark of agfa lupex, brovira or mimosa.

regards John

 

Thought this photo was really interesting too. Shows a nice SS bayonet troddle, just for Ray.
