1906 Navy Question

hi guys. i will tell something about the german language. if you speak it like it is written without any accent it is called : "Hochdeutsch" . but if you believe it or not, every town in germany has its own dialect, its called "Plattdeutsch". it is sometimes impossible for me as german, to understand people fast talking in their townlanguage. then we have also different dialects from country to country. so farer the country is away, so otherwise is the language. i think, that we have more than 50 accents here in germany.

but the serial-subletters are actual letters, which we use today in handwriting so like the are on every luger. the blockletters are also used today. only the gotic letters (like S/42) are not more used today since ww II. and there was the script "Altdeutsch". we don't have it since ww II. but i learned it from some old people, it is very difficult but very interesting. you can mail me any text and i try to translate it. dieter from good old germany
