Can any of my german speaking friends tell me what it says on the back of the photo's?

First one:

"Meinem lieben Freund
Wilhelm
in treuer Kameradschaft
von seinem Freund
[signed]
Breslau, 1944-45"

...meaning...

"To my dear friend
Wilhelm
in faithful comradeship
from
from his friend
[signed]
Breslau, 1944-49"

(Sorry, not sure what the signed name is.)

The second one:

"März 1943
Lazarett
Rudi Pieritz"

...i.e....

"March 1943
military hospital
Rudi Pieritz"

Nice group , Panzer Regt 29 was part of 12 Panzer Divison and when the badge was awarded they had been fighting in Russia around Lake Ladoga and Newel , area of Army Group North !!

Thanks for the translation Andreas and thanks for the info Paul.

Do you guys think that the photos belong to this group?

1. On the photo with the inscription "März 1943 Lazarett Rudi Pieritz" the name Rudi Pieritz is written with a different pen and in different hand writting character.

2. On the other photo shouldn't the name on the signature be Rudi Pieritz? I mean the guy on the photo gave it to his friend Wilhelm and signs it. But the name underneath appears to be diferent.
