Mein Kampf - Gift to a Gebirgsjager General?

[sarugetyou]

I bought this copy of Mein Kampf recently and was told it was signed by a general as a gift to another general. This kind of German for me is completely illegible. Any help would be appreciated.

For Sütterlinschrift we need our esteemed HPL2008

Interesting that there are two different inks and handwriting.

Thanks for the kind words, Michael!

I'm afraid it was not given by one general to another, but by a Hitler Youth leader to a HJ boy. The dedication says:

"Zur Erinnerung
an Dein Landdienstjahr und das
Landdienst-Treffen in Landsberg
zum Erntedankfest 1943
[signed]
Gebietsführer"

["As a memory
of your Landdienst year and the
Landdienst meeting at Landsberg
on Thanksgiving 1943
[signed]
Gebietsführer"]

(Hitler Youth members undergoing their tour of duty in the Landdienst [roughly translated "country service", "land service" or "rural service"] worked on the land and helped out in the homes of farmers.)

Thank you so much HPL2008! That is still very cool. Much appreciated!
