Help in translating a postcard from Germany in 1944
« on: Monday 22 February 21 05:33 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I was told by a friend of mine you might be able to help me with translation of this postcard from 1944. I found this in my mom's box of old letters and other things after she passed away a few years ago. She is Japanese but my father's side of the family had a very wide mix of European blood. I was told by a friend this is written in an old script in German?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi and welcome to RootsChat, I can't help with translation but this will bring it back up the board. I'm sure when Dave comes on and sees it, he will help you all he can.

Hi
Liebe Inge
Danke für deine Mitteilung,
die mich sehr beruhigt und erfreut hat.
Unter den obwaltenden Umständen ist es
das Beste, was E. passieren konnte. Ich
werde ihm nächster Tage schreiben. Kein
Mensch kann ja wissen, wie es sich weiter
entwickeln wird. Ich könnte mir sogar
denken, daß Du mit Tochter von ihm einmal
einschreiten müßtest. - was vielleicht
auch nicht einmal schlimm sein würde.
Herzl. Gruß
dein Onkel ...

Dear Inge
thanks, was pleased to receive your message, it was very comforting
It is probably the best for E. in consideration of the present circumstances
I´ll write to him in a couple of days.
Nobody knows how things are going to develop.
I even think that you, and daughter should intervene, which should´nt be to bad.

Heartly greetings
your uncle

regards
Dave

Thank you so much Dave! I really appreciate it. I had a few people look at it and nobody could figure it out...
