Re: Name on the back of a photo?
Dimitrii,
what I was able to read is: "Ofw. Exner" (Oberfeldwebel Exner)
Oberfeldwebel https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberfeldwebel
Nachname Exner / Surname Exner https://www.google.com/search?client=op ... 8&oe=UTF-8

Hi LAstry,
the short inscription on the back of the photo was written in the then still common "Sütterlinschrift".
Growing up in the late 1950s, we children were not teached "Sütterlin" anymore.
Sütterlinschrift: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sütterlinschrift
"Wir lernen die Sütterlin - Schrift": http://www.suetterlinschrift.de/Lese/Sutterlin0.htm
(Btw, a very nice website for a first start, G/E/F...)
Happy learning..!
