Desolate-Tomb New Member United Kingdom 3 Posts	Posted 02/27/2012 11:17 am Now usually when I want translate Notgeld I will use the internet and my limited grasp of German to do so and this works fine most of the time but the notes I have just bought have a very difficult to read font so it is going to be almost impossible for anyone who doesn't have a good knowledge of German to crack. I may be getting my hopes up but if anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it. Sorry about the image size, this is the only one I could find. Report this Post to the Staff

augsburger Pillar of the Community Germany 1063 Posts	Posted 02/28/2012 09:01 am I think it is says "squiggle, squiggle, squiggle, squiggle", I can't read that, in fact I had a hard time reading German handwriting when they wrote in English, let alone on Germany. Report this Post to the Staff
Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 03/26/2017 11:09 pm I imagine this new member from 2012 is unlikely to still be watching this thread for a cogent reply to his query, but it's really a good mystery that ought to be solvable. Yes the text is rendered in a bit of a scrawl, but the signature's clear enough - it's something written by Paul von Hindenburg. The problem is, generally there's less than a dozen quotes commonly attributed to him, and this'd seem to be more obscure than those. I think I see the word "leben" (]i]v.[/i] to live) repeated twice in rapid succession, and there's that emphatic exclamation point at the end, which taken together ought to render the whole identifiable if only one could readily scan more of his quotes.

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 04/06/2017 11:16 pm I contacted a member of the faculty in the History Department at my alma mater, and here's how he has this quotation: "The blood of all those who in faith in the greatness of the fatherland joyfully offered their lives, must not have flowed in vain."
