help with German hand written text
Hello again,
The only thing I can read here is "Hauptmann Thiel".
Does the text say Rittmeister?

Looks like:
Der Stabsoffz. d. Horstes mein
Chef v. Wittensen
If we become increasingly humble about how little we know, we may be more eager to search.

Hi Greg,
Agree so far, but for the last two words I read
...in Wittensee.
At the banks of Wittensee there was a Luftwaffe base water Airport before WW2.
As the front page is never posted, maybe Dimitrii can confirm about a Luftwaffe uniform.

Hi Greg and Armin,
Wow, what a quick and detailed help! Yes, it is a Luftwaffe Offizier indeed.
The Wittensee in question is in Schleswig-Holstein I see: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klein_Wittensee
Very interesting!

Re: help with German hand written text
This possibly needs some correcting...
Looks like it was signed by future Panzerleader Hermann Balck !Zur Erinnerung 12 Jahre Traum Dienstes
die dann klare 2. Eskadron 18. Reiter Reg
Balck
Rittmeister

............
Mettingen a/N
1929
"a/N" could stand for "am Neckar"
Is there an image on the other side with a possible hint of the first line?
