German Handwriting (on back of photos)

[GregSingh]

Could be something like:

Ausgebrannte Wagen an dem Vormarsch Straße

Greg, thank you, much appreciated!

Here's another one from the back of a couple of KOed british tank pictures.

Thanks in advance for any help.

"Mittlerer Panzer vor der D..d.."
"kleiner belgischer Tank im Straßengraben"

Hi,

Mittlerer Panzer vor der D..d..", could be Dender (a river in Belgium).

Can you check the photo, if there is a river?
BTW, it´s easier, if you show the picture + the writing on the backside.

Best regards
Armin

Thanks to all for your help. Yes it might be Dendre. I think D...b... is actually B...b.. or Bombentrichter or bomb crater (visible in the picture).

[history1]

No one did mention a "D...b..." in this thread, battleofassche, except you.
What I wrote, and Armin confirmed in a certain way, is "D..d..". There is no B...b..or even Bombentrichter as you suggest. Just take a look on the preceding term to compare the "der = the", it´s the same "d" as in the term in question.
BTW, Armin also wrote "Dender", not "Dendre" like you. Be accurate, it´s important.

[battleofassche]

Thanks for that correction. Typo on my part. Dender or also spelled, Dendre, is a canal/river in Belgium. I have spotted the picture and it is in Teralphene on the east bank of the Dendre with a bomb crater visible. Again thanks for your expert help and apologies...

[history1]

No worries! Just explaining what I´m specially looking at
BTW, great country you´re living! Been there a couple times (Ontario, Quebec), a lot of wonderful nature and very kind and helpful people.

Regards,

Glad you liked your visits to Canada. I live near the Rocky Mountains in western Canada so in winter much snow, clear blue skies and cold temperatures.

England BEUTE Panzer TANK 1.jpg

Ok here is another one. Can anyone take a shot at translating this one. Thanks in advance for any help.

[history1]

Erledigter engl[-ischer] Panzer bei Hbf. [ = Hauptbahnhof]

Vorn links Oblt. [Oberleutnant] Köggan [unsure?] 14. Komp. [-anie]

"Finished off English tank near the central railway station
9th company. Mean.
Left in the front: Senior lieutenant Köggan [unsure of the name] 14th company

Roman, thanks very much, you are an ace at this.
Best regards, Steve

Good work, Roman, although I read the name more like "Oblt.Köppen".

I´m just an amateur, Steve!
Thanks, Hiltraut, I bet you´re correct. I wasn´t able to make use of "Köggan" that´s why I added the "unsure". Doesn´t sound at least similiar to German and neither did I find any usefull results when searching for this name. While there are 384 hits for "Köppen" in the Volksbund grave search and aprox. 80 % from WWII.
