Script on reverse of original photos

Hi Guys, Was wondering if this script could inform us who this man is?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Regards

Melvin

Melvin,

first backside reads: "Dear beloved Hans, for remembrance to nice hours at „Kommiss“ (a german saying for military duty-time) your comrade Hannes ?-Diewenow, April 41".

Second: "Hänschen, the sceptic, october 42".

Best Wishes
Norbert

Re: Script on reverse of original photos

Complete script:
"Dir, lieber Hans, zur Erinnerung an schöne Stunden beim Kommiss.
Dein Kamerad Hannes.
W(est)-Dievenow, April 41."
"Hänschen der Skeptiker!
Okt(ober) 42"

Christian name of the writer was Hannes (or Johannes), his friend being named Hans (nickname Hänschen - also derived from Johannes)
Current location of the writer was West-Dievenow, Hinterpommern, now Dzivnow/Poland

Hope this helps

Roland
