Photo identification: SKG10
Can anyone help me with a couple of pieces of research. I have recently inherited some photographs that used to belong to Oblt Dr Oswald Laumann, Gruppe Adjutant of II/SKG 10 in early 1943. Laumann was KIA on 23 March 1943 during a 'Tip and run' raid to Dartmouth, England.
Can anyone identify any of the men on the attached photographs and also help me translate the writing on the reverse of the same photographs? I believe that I have translated some of the easier words such as Laumann and Hingst (Hptm, II/SKG 10 KIA March 1943) but would be very grateful for any help. Thank you, Andy Last edited by Andy F-P; 9th April 2005 at 09:57. Reason: Mis-spelling |

Re: Photo identification: SKG10
Hingst photo was taken at this officer's Beisetzung or funeral ceremony in the Friedhof (Ehrenfriedhof) or cemetery, Rennes, Brittany, on 11 March

Re: Photo identification: SKG10
Hi all,
the first photo says: Ehrenwache von Oblt. Laumann und Oblt. Freudenreich (?) Beisetzung von Hptm. Hingst und Obgefr. Schulz am 11.3.43 Ostfriedhof (?) Rennes Ehrenwache is guard of honour and Beisetzung is funeral. second photo: Gruppenappell der II./S.K.G. 10 next word possibly Heldengedenksonntag 1943, Rennes Heldengedenksonntag would translate into hero's commemoration sunday. Hope this helps. Kind regards Robert |

Thank-you Gentlemen for your quick answers. I appreciate your time. I am very happy to translate German but I have so much trouble with the writing on these photographs.
Best regards, Andy |
