Re: meaning of technical term in German
Hello,
Another related translation question: on 31.8.39 the I./ZG76 KTB reported: "At about 21.00 hrs we received an order via phone call: “Ostmarkflug 1.9, Quelle 45.” This appears to have been the alert to the unit that hostilities were about to commence. Does anyone know exactly what this means, and was it a general alert for all Luftwaffe units concerning the initiation of the attack on Poland, or would this have been only some kind of code for alerting I./ZG76?
Regards,
