Aircraft performance tables

Just a question about abbreviations used in these tables. Speeds are given for 'V' and 'D' which I take to be maximum (Vollgas) and sustained (Dauerleistung) but can anyone confirm or correct that?

To give an example, the Ju 188 F-1:

V = 500/6.2
D = 480/9

[I read the figure after the oblique as altitude in km]
