Wow that's an interesting grouping...Maybe someone can translate the page written in Kurzschrift/Shorthand for us...Those guns were monstrous...

Brrr... dread shorthand.
Had to learn that in school for four torturous years and hated every single minute of it. Having no ambitions whatsoever at becoming a court stenographer or male typist, my 16-year-old self made a solemn vow to himself to never write a single word in those bloody hieroglyphs again as soon as the final year of school was over and to completely unlearn and forget all about it as quickly as possible.
Kept that vow, too.
Rant over.
Congratulations on a very nice grouping!
Seeing it reminded me instantly of my 5th & 6th Grade Teacher when I went to German School, Johann Diehlmann...He was a Wehrmacht Veteran and would use Kurzschrift in his grade-book...
cheers, Glenn
I take it there's no chance of you teaching me how to read it thenBrrr... dread shorthand.

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
Hi people, the signature on the KBA doc is that of Major Romer IMO. The same as in my Eisenbahn artillierie Stab. Abt 640 wehrpass (bottom of page 22). In another thread. Stewy
