A little confused, I think.

German 'sch' = English 'sh' = French 'ch' = Russian 'ш'
German 'tsch' = English 'ch' = French 'tch' = Russian 'ч'
German 'sh' = English 'zh' (as in English 'azure' or in French 'je') = Russian 'ж'

For example Russian 'Житомир' = German 'Shitomir' = English 'Zhitomir'

As far as I know there is no exceptions for these rules.

Best regards,

Also Russian 'щ' = English 'shch' = French 'chtch' = German 'schtsch' :)

Well thanks, but I doubt the Luftwaffe clerks knew these rules and so wrote what they heard, so when I search a place name (in Romanized databases, sorry), testing sh, ch and zh that I forget when there is sch, tsch or sh in the German records can be useful.

In fact this is entire book, I believe after scanning and OCR translation.
