Re: My first feldpost, need some help
That is a very neat feldpost, I also doubt that one with that date is common.

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Re: My first feldpost, need some help
The letter says:
"Liebes Berndchen.
Zum heutigen Weihnachtsfeste sende ich Dir und dem lieben [...]elein die besten Glück- und Segenswünsche. Möge das liebe Christkind Euch Beide und auch den guten Vati beschützen und wieder gesund in die Heimat [...] kommen lassen. Mit Gottes Schutz wird sich schon alles zu unserem Besten wenden.
Viele weihnachtliche Grüße an Dich, [...]elein und Mutter.
Dein Schwager
Karl"
Meaning:
"Dear Berndchen.
For today's Christmas festival, I send the best good wishes and blessings to you and to dear [...]elein. May the Christ Child protect you and dear father and have you [...] return home in good health. With God's protection, in the end all will turn out for the best for us.
Many yuletide greetings to you, [...]elein and mother.
Your brother-in-law
Karl"
"Berndchen" is a diminutive/affectionate form of the male first name Bernd. I can't quite make out the first letters in the name of the woman referenced twice; the ending "-elein" is also a diminutive. (From the context, she is surely Bernd's wife and Karl's sister.)

I don't think that 3 /NAA had anything to do with the waffen SS or the Charlemagne Divison , it was a Wehrmacht signals training unit !!
