Translations, please

Anyone able to translate the following from German to English:
Feuersicht in 30km; Flamasch; Hahnepot; Vollkreis; Kiellinie; Scheinanlagen?

Holá Bill,
I will try as good as I can:
Feuersicht in 30km - Flames sighted at 30 km
Vollkreis - Full Circle
Kielliene - sail (keel)line ahead (Navy term)
Scheinanlagen - dummy plants
Please check Flamasch and Hahnepot once again, they don´t make sense.
Cheers
hihotte

I believe Hahnepot has something to do with sailing.
But not sure.
I´m a so called "Landratte", not too much clue about sailing.

Any chance FLAMASCH is short for Flamme Marsch which would translate as flame march ?

[bill norman]

Thanks all - much appreciated. Does the following help re. the 'problem' words? Flamasch is given in the context of defensive ground fire: Flak und Flamasch (I wonder if it might be tracer?). Hahnepot is used as follows: Jeder Dampfer hatte Sperrballon mit Hahnepot - and it's the last word that causes me the problem.

Bill, is it a printed/typed document or handwritten?

Hahnepot

ein an drei Punkten angreifendes Tau, Tau mit auseinander laufenden Enden

Hahnepot:

In english 'BRIDLE'.....

So much for my theory that "the curse of old-time German script" had struck again!
