This is a commentary from a german Military Handbook… :shock:

Bei Einbruch der Nacht ist mit Dunkelheit zu rechnen!

:lol: Translated: At Dusk the german soldier has to expect darkness :lol:

A post-war German phrasebook for Dutch people includes:

Geben Sie mir mein Fahrad zurueck!

#12

That`s hard…
did so many german soldiers stole bikes from netherlands citizens? :slight_smile:
Sometimes it seems like the editors of that Handbooks were good friends of Albert Hoffman (He discovered LSD)!

Another commentary from the same Book I mentioned before:

From a water depth from 1.5 metres the german soldier has to start swimming whithout the order to swim!
