Bohlen=Schwellen (boards) GreyC Thanks Grey ! With google translate, I obtain "boards on railway embankment", these boards are used by Germans to prepare explosions of the railway. The "Fabrik" is perhaps "Delmée" that was near "Rue des Récollets" (factory Delmée : wooden furniture factory). Thanks a lot ! Sébastien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AOK4 Posted 13 September , 2023 Share Posted 13 September , 2023 I'm not convinced by GreyC's transcription (the part about "Bahndam"). Could you send a better/sharper picture? Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AOK4 Posted 13 September , 2023 Share Posted 13 September , 2023 I believe it says "...Bohlen am Besten von denen in der Fabrik..." (preferably boards from the ones in the factory) Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
