  • Hi Peter,

    a "Hohenzollernring" you will find very offen in German towns, so it will be very difficult to find the twon. The six-figure phone-number could be helpfull. Such a large number are in use in that time only in larger towns, such like Berlin, Hamburg, Munich.
    To show a scanne of both side of the picture would also helpful.

    Regards

  • Here is a Picture of the Company name and the Wehrmacht soldier in question...

    The man was a Leutnant in the Wehrmacht and if the Picture is from Koln I think it would be safe to presume he was stationed in Koln ... :)

    Hi Peter,

    sure you´re correct, at least he was there stationed when they took the photo.

  • Hi,

    this Leutnant was probably an academic. He has on his cheek a scar, typically received in a student corporation (Burschenschaft, schlagende Verbindung) fencing duel (Mensur). Again a small step forward.
    Dieser Leutnant war wahrscheinlich Akademiker. Er hat an seiner Wange eine Narbe, die typischerweise bei einer Mensur erworben wird. Er war also in einer schlagendenStudentenverbindung
    .
