Section I. INTRODUCTION

1. GENERAL

Perhaps to a greater extent than any other army, the

German Armed Forces employ military abbreviations on

their maps and charts, on task force tables of organization,

on direction and location sign posts in combat zones, on

field orders, and, in short, in every case where abbrevia-

tions may possibly be used. These abbreviations are

often used in connection with military symbols (see

German Military Symbols, January 1943, Military Intelli-

gence Service). A thorough knowledge of both abbrevia-

tions and symbols is therefore essential to military per-

sonnel engaged in the interpretation of captured docu-ments.

There is no "easy road to knowledge" in regard to these

military abbreviations. Many words are abbreviated in

more than one manner, sometimes in the course of a single

document. Individual commanders frequently improvise

abbreviations, which will be understandable from the

context to the German officer reading them, but may

cause considerable difficulty to the non-German. A

1



GERMAN MILITARY ABBREVIATIONS

thorough foundation in the German language is useful,but not infallible, in determining the meaning of a par-

ticular abbreviation-guessing, in this, as in all military

intelligence work, is dangerous.

2. PRINCIPLES OF FORMATION

While the Germans do not follow any consistent pro-

cedure in abbreviating, the following tendencies can be

observed:

a. Whenever possible the Germans keep enough of the

original word structure to make the abbreviation a

recognizable skeleton of the word for which it stands.

An example is abkdrt. for abkommandiert.

b. Another common tendency is to lop off syllables of

the word being abbreviated; the degree to which this is

carried depends on the writer's haste and the amount of

comprehension he expects in the reader. Here also the

Germans attempt to leave enough of the distinctive struc-

ture of the word to give the reader a clue. The wordBefehlshaber, fo r instance, can be abbreviated Befhb.,Befh., or B.

c. In the case of compound words, the Germans often

make an abbreviation by taking elements or initial letters

from each of the component parts. An example is Kfz.

for Kraftfahrzeug.

d. Sometimes this procedure results in a pronounceablecombination of letters, and the abbreviation gains cur-

rency as a word. Flak for Flugzeugabwehrkanone,Gestapo

for Geheime Staatspolizei,and Stuka for Sturzkampfflugzeug

are familiar examples.

INTRODUCTION

3. SCOPE OF THIS DICTIONARY

Because of the extent of the field, it is unlikely that any

dictionary of German military abbreviations could be"complete." New abbreviations, whether as the resultof developments in military equipment and tactics, or asthe temporary short-cuts of an individual commanderwriting orders, will continue to come into existence.With these the intelligence officer must deal to the best ofhis ability. A good working knowledge of the abbrevia-tions commonly in use at present will help in interpreting

these new coinages. Frequently the meaning can beinferred from the context. The present list aims at a

reasonable completeness, within the following limits:a. Military terms borrowed from other languages in

use during the first World W ar and earlier have frequentlybeen replaced in the present German Army by Germanequivalents. A considerable number of these older termshave been retained in this list, but not all.

b. German writers often use cortbinations of singleabbreviations. The policy of this dictionary has beento include these combinations when they are encounteredfrequently, but otherwise to list the component partsseparately. For instance, Divisionsalfklarungsabteilungwill be found under Div.Aufkl.Abt., and separate entrieswill be found for Div., Aufkl.Abt., Aufkl., and Abt.But for Eisb.Pi.Rgt. it would be necessary to look underEisb. and Pi.Rgt. separately.

c. Besides strictly military terms the present dictionarycontains abbreviations for many general German wordsand expressions which are likely to occur in military docu-

3




ments. In deciding which of these nonmilitary abbrevia-

tions to include, the aim has been to put in those which

will probably occurmost frequently rather than to include

all possible forms.d. In a few cases German abbreviations will be found

identical with those used in the U. S. Army. Examples are

Apr. for April and mm for millimeter. Abbreviations of

this type have not been included. But where a difference

exists which might prove confusing, the German abbrevia-

tion has been given. Examples are Dez. for December,

and mm2

for squaremillimeter.e. While this dictionary is primarily fo r the use of army

personnel, a certain number of naval and aeronautic

abbreviations are included in it. It is inevitable that such

abbreviations will be encountered in military documents,

and the more familiar the intelligence officer is with them,

the better.

4. ORGANIZATION OF THIS DICTIONARY

In using this dictionary the following principles of

organization should be kept in mind:

a. Abbreviations are arranged alphabetically, firstaccording to the abbreviation itself, then according to the

word or expression abbreviated. Thus A. for Abteilung

precedes A. for Ausbildung, and both these abbreviations

precede Abt.b. The umlaut is equivalent to the addition of e after

the vowel; consequently d- follows ad- and precedes af-.

c. The German capital I, often written J, will be found

under I.

4



INTRODUTCTION 5

d. The German practice varies in use of the periodfollowing an abbreviation. In this list the period is

usually not given, but an abbreviation given here without

a period may appear in a document with one.e. A German abbreviation frequently can stand for

either the singular or the plural of the word it abbreviates.In this list the English meaning is usually given in thesingular only.
