Oh, absolutely. Now shall we translate »Nachrichten« as "news" or "intelligence" or "signals" or … ?

Re: Luftwaffe Officer Career database now available
Hello Forum, dear Larry
in the german military abriviation, war department, military war service of 12.04.43, special series Nr. 12, it is refered "for special use". An other aspect of the definition "zur besonderen Verwendung"; it was a unit designation in order to deceive the enemy as to the actual role of the unit. |

Re: Luftwaffe Officer Career database now available
I never claimed the Luftwaffe was precise in its use!
Seriously though, I think the meaning of besondere Verwendung and vorlaeufig/Behelf is so different that I really can not see this being a good way to translate it. Since there is a lack of clarity, I would go with the literal translation (special purpose), keeping in mind that a special purpose could of course have been carried out by a provisional formation. All the best Andreas
