Last German soldier to leave South Finland letter?

[Jan]

Please help me with the writing on this one. Looks like a German soldier sending a letter home in 1944. Ingenieurs Abt?.

I would read the sender as:

Fr. Bauer, 2. Ing., (aB) abord, (DS)=(engl. SS) (Steamship), "Clara L.M. Russ"

[kradman]

I would say it was sent from DS Clara L.M Russ at Hanko dock

The Clara L.M. Russ ran aground in 1951 and became a wreck. By that time she had been renamed Ioannis Mar****s and was under the Greek flag.

Beeindruckend wie präzise sich die Anschreiben im Schriftbild gleichen.
Sophie seems to have married Mr. Mueller...
