Interesting Photo needs investigation
Hi,
Found this photo in among a lot of other german feldpost and letters. I can't quite read the back of it but it seems to be building something? bridges? bunkers?

Re: Interesting Photo needs investigation
It says "Brückenbau in Br.... = Building a bridge in Br....."
Re: Interesting Photo needs investigation
Possibly Brugging.
Re: Interesting Photo needs investigation
Yes it is the place name which is really confusing. I’ve tried some guesses in google but no success. I thought maybe bruggen but there is definitely a g or another letter at the end...

Hi,
I read the word as Brgjanz, but there is no town with that name found.
So my wild guess is, that this is phonetic written for the Russian town Brjansk.
Any other explanations welcome.
Best regards
Armin

Puzzle solved, once more, by Armin. There´s nothing to add except that the name is misspelled on the photo as "Brjansk" phoneticaly sounds totally differently. The letter "j" is eg.in Polish or also in Russian often used/spelled as "i", AFAIK.
Thus one question, might it be spelled "Bryjanz" in the photo?
Cheers

Roman,
Looking at it again I agree with your correction, looks more like Bryjanz with a y.
Thx and best regards
