HJ boy’s adoption file…

[KevMar]

Hi , since we updated some organisational features to how our archive was running , and that update was succesfull , I now have some extra free time to do things I was planning already but never managed to start with.
For example , spend some extra at the forum and share with you what I feel needs to be shared with my fellow HJ collectors and/or history researchers.

So, today I was finally able to open this file I had put on my desk more then a year ago and inspect what it was all about.
And after a quick glance into it I’m not sure , but I think it’s something about the adoption of 2 children , a boy who was a HJ and his sister, and how their father was killed fighting in the war and they now needed to be addopted.

That’s what I think is the subject of the original file but as I said , I just opened it and took some photographs of it to add to this post and need to look into it more this weekend. And I have already noticed It’s gonna be a though one as there is many information in there that’s written in Sutterlin , and I can read Sutterlin , but when it’s hand written that story changes a little bit

Anyway , If some of you are interested in it I’ll be happy to give an update when I have decyphered the code and solved the mystery , but for now I’ll share the pictures I took of it , as there are several photographs still inside which makes it all visually more appealing ofcourse …

Cheers

I took a quick look at the whole thing. The first page is about an application for a marriage loan, so they were newly married at the time. The handwritten letter is from a comrade of her killed husband, also a Sudeten German like her husband Aois (the villages are small communities in the Leitomischl district). They had known each other since they were drafted and had always been together. He himself was now in hospital in Deutsch Krone (Westpreußen) and had a shell splinter near his spine, but nothing serious.
He wrote to her to inform her of the circumstances of her husband's death.

The other is administrative, the widow received a financial allowance from the Wehrmacht, which then ended.
I think the handwriting is quite good, there are much worse ones .

Adoption will probably only be discussed in the next documents, won't it?

Seriously ???

Well that shows how hastily I looked over everything what was in the map before sharing it and taking off I guess.

I’ll take my time when I get home to have a closer look at it , and maybe consider to accept the fact that i’m growing older for once and put that horrible thing that makes me read better on top of my nose this time.

I only took photo’s of something like 1/3th it all , so If your interested in reading the whole thing let me know , I’d be more then happy to send all of what it contains to everyone who likes to have it.

Yes, really .
Of course, place names are challenging, especially when they are small nests like here, and words with spelling mistakes, of which there were also quite a few here.
Regarding the circumstances of Alois' death (I omitted an "l" from the top), there's "enemy bullet" mentioned at the top and something about heavy Russian artillery fire lateron. The details will probably follow.

In other words, the document of a personal tragedy, as there were so many of them on all sides.
