Does anyone happen to know the Luftwaffe WW2 Phonetic alphabet, and would
be willing share his knowledge. In case my question is not entirely clear,
I would like to get the Luftwaffe equivalent of Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta,
Echo, Fox, whatever...

Thanks,
George Hopp

I got this from http://www.uwm.edu/~jpipes/alphabet.html for the Luftwaffe
equivalents of Able, Baker, Charlie, Dog, Easy...;-) It's just labeled
German WWII, but it matches what little I know of the Luftwaffe, so it has
to be worth a shot. The site has some other interesting stuff on it,
especially if you're not afraid to get a little off topic and have never
heard of the Wilhelm Gustloff.

Hope this helps,

Hey George,

I'd like to add 'Schlact Terminology' from the Stalag 13 URL at-

http://members.aol.com/dheitm8612/index.htm

Where Schlact means 'slaughter' or CAS (Close Air Support). Neat Stuff
and gives you an idea of how important comms security can be as there
are code-alternates for every direct command/notification call.

Also, wait for the main header page to FULLY load, the FW-190 is worth
it!:)

hi there,
just a small note:
you meant "Schlacht", not "Schlact". The meaning of the word is
"battle", btw.
------------>I'm german.

The right word is "Schlacht", not "Schlact". The right meaning is
"battle", btw.

Hi there,
may I correct this: "Schlacht" is the word, and "battle" (whatever form) is
it's meaning.
---------->I'm german!

Keep in mind that the english phonetic alphabet used during WW2 is not the
same as it is today.
