Translating doesn't take but a second. What takes time is typing this stuff into Word so I can copy and paste it. The text on back of those tiny pix isn't easy for these old eyes to read. The magnifying glass should help once it's in my hands. I have no idea where it is in that garage or I'd get it myself, and Hubby's napping at the moment.

This is the one I want to do next. It does look like a propaganda pic.

Yeah....how the troops are so nice to the locals. Yeah, right. You need to tell hubby to leave the glass with you till you are done. LOL!

That’s what I’m thinking. Something along that line any way.

I had a “light bulb” moment a little while ago that will make it easy to read what’s on back of the pix without the magnifying glass. It’ll be a lot easier, actually. I just snapped pix of the back of each one, like I did with the two I posted, and they’ll be plenty large onscreen. Didn’t think about it last night, but I was brain dead then. LOL

Pix are taken and I just need to load ‘em onto the computer.

Ha! Knew you’d find a way! Just have to get those brain cells a’poppin’! Look forward to knowing what they were thinking. Bound to be chilling.

Sometimes the ol’ pea brain surprises me and works. LOL

Yep, that second one’s a propaganda pic alright.

“The World War (1914/18)
Behind the front
A dance behind the front

Every day, our enemies spread out new atrocity news about poor treatment of the inhabitants in the occupied territories. Reality was very correct and decent everywhere. The relations between the soldier and the population often took on friendly forms, especially when they lasted longer.

Scrapbook (R.M. 1 -) only available at the tobacco trade.
Picture exchange only by Cigaretten Bilderdienst Dresden - A.1”

Yep...it just had “that look” of coercion to me. Poor girls.

Yes, it did have “that look”. Not all have that obvious appearance but we guess they’re all propaganda.

Not all have it but that one stated it was only available “at the tobacco trade”. I gather they all came with packs of cigarettes and that would explain their small size.

Mr. Creely collected all kinds of cool stuff over 60 years. Even though I went down there last year, I didn’t see anything CLOSE to all of it. Too much piled together and it was overwhelming. It’s fun getting to see these things as they’re unpacked and we decide where to put them. I believe these will be placed in a large picture frame with their translated captions pasted underneath each one.

They really are a rare find! I’m glad you are getting to do the translation. It’s a cool job to have!

Well, the early morning is catching up with me, so guess I’d best go for now. See ya tomorrow? Have a great day!

I wouldn’t be doing the translations if I didn’t watch all those bird nests overseas. LOL! I use Google Translate all the time to translate comments so it came to mind immediately when she said she’d like to have the captions translated.

It’s neat to be able to contribute a little something besides cleaning uniforms. :-)

Sleep well. I hope Peaches is outside! LOL

Good evening/morning, Luv...

Hope you got a good nap on Sunday.

I’m typing as I just woke up from a nap at my computer. Now I need to go to bed.
