I don't see how картофель would be pronounced as kar-tosh-ka

The Russian word for potato is pronounced kar-tosh-ka
John Marsch
-------------------------------------------------
Kartoffel is German for potatoe..
Using Google translate, the Russian word is картофель and sounds
similar ...

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
