It says...:

"Eine Übung in
Grafenwöhr
ich hab ein Kreuz
gemacht bin in der Mitte"

...meaning:

"An exercise at
Grafenwöhr
I have made a cross
am in the middle"

Grafenwöhr in the Upper Palatinate being the site of a military training area, see
Grafenwöhr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
U.S. Army Garrison Grafenwoehr

Another group of soldiers at said place, wearing Reichswehr-era sports kit:

another Luftwaffe Parade

The group photo is interesting to me.
Check out the visor caps. Some have the Army eagle and wreath cockade while others have the old reichswehr style visors. Whats up with this?? Were officers/NCOs the only ones who were issued the new caps at this time or sumthin?
Also why are only some of the officers wearing boots, and others arent?
