Help With 1935 Edition Manual Markings Please

spangy · 01-25-2022, 03:36 AM

First off I am no expert in interpreting German documents or language thereof but it appears that this PISTOL 08 training manual was originally the property of a specific Luftwaffe squadron in a specific area of Germany (Oreif Forest ??) later transferred to another area (Hamburg) thus the striking out and re-stamping at the bottom of the document.

Fascinating manual ... nice score Brian.

Don't shoot the messenger please ... its JMHO.

I believe that's a "G" - Flying Squadron Greifswald...And it's interesting that the manual was printed when Germany was not supposed to have an air force...
