Here is a picture of the book and the map set...

Thanks Klaus. I think you will enjoy the book. It is the first of hopefully many volumes on the Battle of the Wolchow Kessel. I will try to get some pictures of the book and map set on this post today. Thanks!

I would like to announce the release of the book The Battle of the Wolchow Kessel in Primary German Documents, Volume I, and the accompanying Wolchow Kessel Operational Battle Map Set. A description of the book: "In January of 1942 the Soviets launched an offensive against the German 18. Army i...

Thanks Vkun. I was also thinking that in this case the definition of Erden meant "grounded". That is what we shall go with. Thanks!

Gentlemen, We have hit another tough translation in one of our reports. The page in question is from the Winter Combat Experiences report of the Nachricthen Abteilung of the 58. Inf. Div. We are having difficulty translating the term "erden" as it relates to the Signals/Communication unit....

Thanks Howard!! This sounds closer to what I believe the author was trying to convey!

Gentlemen, I have another translation request. We are currently translating a 150+ page Winter Warfare Experiences report, and we have hit a couple of sentences that are giving us some problems. Take a look at the first two sentences under the number 1. of this frame (http://ecbiz76.inmotionhosting....

Hello Fridgeman! Thanks so much for your input. Truppensanitätsausrüstung - troop medic gear - large boxes with medical supply and instruments (this definitely makes the most sense!). I will go with Truppensanitätsausrüstung. This abbreviation certainly was a tough nut to crack! Thanks for all your ...

Hi Howard, Thanks for your input. My translators were also leaning toward Tragkraftsspritzenanhänger - portable fire pump trailer, but they were not 100% sure either, so I thought I would get a second/third opinion. We will continue to review the possible choices. Thanks again Howard, Best Regards, ...

Greetings, I came across an unknown abbreviation in my research. The abbreviation is T.S.A. It is in a report on Winter Warfare Experiences of a medical unit on the Eastern Front. I have looked in Kriegsprache, and cannot come up with a definitive answer for what T.S.A. stands for. Here a link to th...

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone tell me exactly what "Feldfernsprecher" translates as?

Kind Regards,

Hi Vkun, Thanks so much for the clarification. I was discussing this with my translator, and we both agreed that the reports are in regards to Artillery strikes and not Luftwaffe strikes, but we were still unsure of what a "gruppen" referred to. We knew that it dealt with "volleys&quo...

Hi Christoph,

Thanks for your assistance. That seems to make the most sense. I believe that is what we will go with. Thanks!

Kind Regards,

Thanks guys for taking a shot at this one. It is tricky. My group of translators have gone back and forth several different times trying to come up with a logical translation, and we don't seem to have a decent one yet. "On the Target" is basically what we have went with. I am not 100% con...
