Some of you are aware that I have been developing a database of German police unit marks from the period 1900 to 1936. That database has reached over 1,200 marks and I have been using it to research this fascinating and confusing topic.
To date, I have published articles on seven research topics in AutoMag and have posted them for downloading at
http://members.aol.com/donmaus1/Weim...e_Unit_Marks/. Because of file size limitations on this site, I have had to delete the earlier postings. If anyone wishes a copy of one of the deleted articles, email me and I will send you a copy by return email. Note, however, that the older articles are becoming somewhat outdated as I accumulate more data and learn more about this subject.
While you may have these articles from issues of AutoMag, the downloaded copies are better, particularly the quality of the photos. The download copies also retain the font size adjustments that were lost in the process of reproducing them in AutoMag. The files are numbered in the order the articles were written:
1. Weimar Prussian Police School Marks - from February 2005 AutoMag (DELETED)
2. H.P. = Hessische Polizei?? - From March 2005 AutoMag (DELETED)
3. Landj?¤gerei Unit Marks - From July 2005 AutoMag (DELETED)
4. Berlin Schutzpolizei Unit Marks - From August & September 2005 Auto Mags (DELETED)
5. Prussian Police Unit Marks 1900-1936 - From January & February 2006 Auto Mags (DELETED)
6. Prussian Schupo Unit Marks - Parts I to VII - Series beginning in May 2006 Auto Mag (DELETED)
7. Saxon Police Unit Marks - Revised - To be published in future issues of AutoMag
