Re: Abbreviations on charts
Hi Gary,
N.N. means name not known rt. is the abbreviation for rot meaning red ws. = weiss = white ge. = gelb = yellow sw. = schwarz = black The numbers are tactical markings and the bar after the balkenkreuz "+" identifies the gruppe see the following link http://www.xs4all.nl/~rhorta/jgmark.htm ws. 9+I would be White 9 of III.Gruppe PD + EG is what is known as stammkennziechen which are factory codes. verw. means verwundet = wounded verl. means verletz = injured v. means vermissen = missing (v.) means missing but returned later KG. means kampfgefangen = captured (POW) (KG.) probably means captured but escaped later I appologise for any errors with the translation as my German is very poor. Best Regards Andy Fletcher
