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

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.

Yes, you got that right, Armin, thank you !
Re: help with German hand written text
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!

This possibly needs some correcting...

Mettingen a/N

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