I'm struggeling with a picturecollection from WWII, privatearchive, with lots of handwriting on the back of the pictures in German. I don't understand German at all, so I'm kind of having problems with a few words to dechipher what the hell it says. Some of the writing has been written in pen (damn the idiots who uses pen on pictures!!!!) and so the ink has been wiped all over the place, leaving some of the words unreadable. I'm gonna post a few weird words/sentences here... Can someone please correct me or tell me what they say?
Picture of crashed plane: Krechgelandeter or Frugelandeter?
People overlooking mountain view: An der Swedischen grenze nach dem giccekokkagletscher
On the Swedish border after the --
Massgrave: Wo? Das uss ein soldaten = Friedhof sein mit umge = betteten gefallensargen, Narvik, Trondheim? Man erkennt die fahne mit dem Deutchen eiseren kreuz. Geborgene von einem schiffstorpedo? Rognanbotn?
Where? That (uss?) a soldier. Graveyard be with [umge? perhaps Umgebung? that's "surroundings".]
Man erkennt die Fahne etc. means: One recognizes the flag with the German iron cross.
I think geborgene means "the loaned". After that: by a ship's torpedo.
More to come if I can get help.
Germans or those who speak German... Hilfe!

Nah, it's nothing like Dutch. Looks like mangled German or Scandinavian to me.
