In theory, this epic was published for military personnel only, never to be republished in whole or in part without the consent of the War Office … it’s worth knowing that it was originally compiled by the US, for use by officers with a modicum of German language under their belts. However, it’s now a handy tome for members of the Independent Company, too. As we get our allgemeingiiltige Aiiordnungen and get told to “Antreten!” on a Thursday evening, don’t forget to engage your best Schallmittel – and remember, Mannschaft für Mannschaft; Mann für Mann; die Offizier vom Dienst will be on your case if there’s any Pflichtverletzung at all…
Seriously, this is one very useful book.
