Pimpf War Diary 1942-43

[Strumble69]

Evening all

I am slowly myself working through this HJ logbook. Some entries I have already translated some pages and are in refernce to the english bombing his town. There is lots to work through here but im sure this will be a really interesting insight into life of a hitlerjugend called up to war service in the years of 1942-43. I am maybe thinking that this boy was in the HJ prior to him writing in this book and this book was maybe leftover for him to use as his war diary (so apologises that this isnt specifiaclly HJ)

If anyone wants to help please be my guest lol. I will be posting my own translations into this thread when I do the.

Thank you
