Hi all,
Trying to find some details on a Willy (Wilhelm?) Schwöigerin.
Who lost his left arm while with "Germania" in 1943.
I may have the name wrong, as there are no Schwöigerin listed in the German phone book or even on Google search.
As far as I know Schwöigerin is not a word.
Any ideas?
Regards
Logun

I think the word ist Schwägerin = sister-in-law

left: Schwager und Schwägerin = brother and siter-in-law
right: Uns kann die ganze Welt den Buckel ... (omitted: runterrutschen), something like "drop dead, whole world"

How do you know it's Willy ?

Hi,
many thanks for the help.
I have attached the pictures to give some context to the writing.
His first name is Willy, as there is a pic of him and a woman ,written on the rear is "Willy and our dear auntie".
The group shows Willy with a badly wounded left arm and in later fotos with no arm both in uniform ( "Germania" cuff title in two) and in civilian dress.
The only other info. on a couple of fotos is the date 1943
Pitty I cannot get some more details.
Regards
