Happy to help. Records from 1942 are often handwritten in Kurrent/Sütterlin (older German cursive) or printed in Fraktur, which can be tricky at first glance. Here’s how we can get a clean read:
• Share a straight, high-resolution image (300–600 dpi); include the whole page and a close-up of the lines you need.
• Tell me where it appears (e.g., Wehrpass, Soldbuch, Stammrolle, muster sheet) and the page heading—form layout helps decode abbreviations.
• Dates/units usually look like “8.42–11.42” and “2./Gren.Ers.Btl. ___” (company/battalion/regiment).
• Common words to spot: “geboren” (born), “wohnhaft” (residing), “Beruf” (occupation), “Dienstgrad” (rank), “Komp.” (company), “Btl.” (battalion), “Regt.” (regiment), “Ersatz” (replacement), “versetzt” (transferred), “entlassen” (discharged), “Feldpostnummer” (field post no.).
• For the handwriting, compare the same letter across the page (Sütterlin “e” and “n” can blend; long “s” looks like an “f”). Start by transcribing exactly—line breaks and abbreviations included—then we translate with notes on ranks, places, and unit types.
Post two or three clear lines (or the scan), and I’ll do a one-off transcription/translation with explanations.
