Kriegsmarine Text/Notebook

[bikerboyzx6r]

I just picked these 2 workbooks off ebay. The price was far to good to be true... I thought... then when I got them, I was more than pleased.

Im not sure how often this sort of thing comes onto the market & what is known about them but I hope it will be easy to research

Hi Dan, he certainly did some well executed technical drawings. I imagine these were part of his course to pass a trade test.

Cheers, Ade.

Yes Ade, these are just some of the diagrams he did & also there are pages of tests & his scores. It looks as though he was in an anti aircraft batterie so I look forward to finding out more

A scholar & a gent!
Thanks Ade

[Adrian Stevenson]

My pleasure. No skill or knowledge involved. Just a case of knowing where to look:

Lexikon der Wehrmacht

Cheers, Ade.

Ade, you are a treasure trove of knowledge, and far too modest. Just showing guys like me where to get this information is invaluable. Great material! Looking at it makes me feel like I'm sitting next to the guy studying for the test. Jay
