1906 Navy Question

Big Norm,

I do not think that the question of language is so far off base.

If I remember correctly until somewhere between WW-1 & WW-2 There were several dialects of German spoken which created much confusion and demanded a standardization of, the official German language to replace possibly three or more dialects that had troubled the scientific world for quite a long time.

The differences between dialects resulted in totally confusing the field of international patents and scientific papers and was done with extreme pain to many closely concerned.

This can also account for some variation in the conversion of "Luger" documents and records made prior to and after the change.

I first became aware of this while searching one of my Patents that had some German related research and patent background that almost lost me a patent on a wind turbine.

Perhaps some of our German Contributors can fill us in on the effect of the language changes in greater depth.
