Km/h on German Airpseed Indicator, as opposed to Km/s - can someone clarify?

Hey guys...

There was a thread here that I cannot find.

It described the reasoning why German instruments (specifically the Airspeed indicator) had "Km/h" on the dial, as opposed to "Km/s".

If I recall correctly, it had to do with some sort of early 1930s technical standardization (to English?).

Cannot find the original thread, and was curious if someone can clarify the reasoning.

TIA

Mike
