Handbook of WWII German Military Symbols & Abbreviations 1943-45 by Terrence Booth Pdf

A comprehensive reference guide to German military symbols used on documents, maps, orders of battle and elsewhere. To the uninitiated, German military symbols can appear indecipherable. Yet understanding their meaning is essential to any serious research of the WWII German Armed Forces. This book provides a clear and comprehensive reference to these symbols, as seen in photos, tables of organization and maps for the period May 1943 onwards. The first two parts of the book feature an overview of how the German Armed Forces used the symbols in the field. Parts III, IV and V deal with specific forms and categories of symbols used. The format provides an image of each symbol, accompanied by the relevant German term and its English translation, along with any pertinent information that will aid the reader’s understanding of the symbol and the unit that it represented. The final part of the book, containing a list of over 500 abbreviations and their German terms, supplemented by English translations, should prove invaluable to any reader who has more than a passing interest in the Second World War German Armed Forces.

German Military Symbols by Anonim Pdf

The military symbols in this classified book appeared on maps, documents, tables of organisation and orders of battle, as well as on military vehicles. The symbols illustrated replaced those in use up until May 1943, although some of the former symbols remained in use until the end of WWII. This is an essential core reference for the study of World War 2 German photographs, maps, charts, vehicles and equipment. The German armed forces used military symbols extensively on maps, in tables of organisation (war establishments), and on direction and location signposts in combat zones. Military symbols will also be seen on vehicles and equipment, with or without the divisional emblem.

Regimental Officer OS Handbook of the German Army 1943 by War Office August 1943 Pdf

This pamphlet was issued in August 1943 to all regimental officers of the British Army expected to have contact with German forces. It is the result of many contacts with the German army, together with some Ultra information, although this is of course not stated. It looks at the organisation of the German Infantry Regiment from section level upwards, showing the organisation of the infantry section, infantry platoon, rifle company, machine gun company. It then looks at the infantry battalion, infantry regiment, and the support included at regimental level: the infantry gun company and the infantry anti-tank company. The pamphlet then examines the German infantry division. The next section deals with the organisation of the German Armoured Division, and this is shown in the same detail as the infantry component: from troop of tanks up to tank regiment. Complementing this is the same treatment of a Panzer Grenadier regiment. The pamphlet then looks at German tactics in the attack, and co-operation between infantry and armour, defensive tactics and the German withdrawal. There are also tables of German military symbols with an explanation, and an important tabular layout of weapons, including small arms and grenades, artillery and anti-tank guns and heavy smoke mortars and projectiles. The whole pamphlet is illustrated with organisation charts and tactical maps.
