The majority of the foreign language texts is based on automatic translation, in parts reworked by the editor.

Older parts have been translated using Google translate, newer ones with DeepL. Dict.cc and Wikipedia are used during reworking.

From 22 Nov 2020 onward the English dialect used is expressedly British English.

Phil Price and Richard Hargreaves kindly translated several pages pertaining to the early stages of "Barbarossa" in June and July 1941, Jason Mark gave lots of further hints.

German Military Terms and Expressions

Below you find a list of terms together with my source-based or sometimes tentative translations and a description. Bold face denotes German terms left untranslated in most instances because they are difficult to translate. The editor believes that they are well-known to military historians, anyway. May they give the text a special atmosphere. Many list items (most marked +) are only notes to the editor's self to ease translation work and insure standardised translation, they may be deleted later.
