Re: German-English Terminology Manual

There is a British Intelligence book at PRO and the National Maritime Museum on German-English Naval Terminology, so on a hunch I searched the PRO online catalogue for 'technical terms', year range 1939-1945. Among the hits was:

HW 5/7251. "BROWN" translations: English equivalents of German technical terms 2. German military abbreviationsUndated / 1943 Mar

HW series is from GC&CS, series 5 is German Section and mostly intercepts/decrypts. 'BROWN' was a cover name for a German cypher, in this case the one used for 'Beam Bomber' communication, so it will contain LW terms. Other searches might provide better hits. The catalogue is at:

Hope this helps,

Bruce
