Re: Decipher German Writings
Thank you very much Armin for taking the time and helping me.
I believe the word written at the top of photos number 1, 5 and 6 is "Hovedoya", an island in the Oslo Fjord. During the German occupation of Norway, the island was the site of a German military camp.
Regards,
Karlo

Can anyone read the name of the Leutnant? He was Adjutant of III./ Inf.Rgt.57 in late 1939.

Sind zu Gegrüst? Vieltausend mal
Zur Erriennung? aus ?Frausttadt?
Thanx
