UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons SA & NSKK Dagger Forum Translation of German text.

Hello All.

Mabye not the correct part of the forum, but is there anyone here that can translate the text on this photo?

Best Regards

A photo detail of the text itself would help - but it looks like "Dem scheidenden Kameraden Truppfuehrer Gnittke zum ewigen Andenken. Die Fuehrer des Sturmbann II/24"

It's a dedication for a SA troop leader who is leaving the unit: "To the departing troop leader, Gnittke as an eternal rememberance. (from) The leaders of Sturmbann II/24".

The cap bands are very dark so possibly black. This could be SA-Standarten 24 in Neuruppin Gruppe Berlin-Brandenburg.

Thanks, the translation is correct. Nice early photo. Date in lower left for 11 March 1934.

Some research might identify at least the Sturmbannfuehrer in the middle front.
