Hello,
I have some letters that were written by relatives but have not been able to
make sense of them. The problems are multiple. The writer(s) were fluent
in Russian and spoke/wrote German as a second language. For example, one
letter has the word kartofel in it which is the Russian word for potatoe.
Another letter has the name Olga with the Russian lower case g in it. Most
words seem to be spelled phonetically so und become unt, von becomes fon and
anfang becomes anfank. I don't have any German vocabulary and am struggling
to resolve the meaning. I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks
