I tried putting these words through Babelfish but it came out not making much sense. (What's a " front lifting tree camp" ?? ) These were in an English-Language Publication WHY did the Editors leave all the labels in German [&o] ? If anyone can help .... could you please post the as many of the closest English equivalents as possible? I've tried to "tag" the various components to make ID'ing them a bit easier....

Killick,

Babbelfish speaks worse German than I do, and thats pretty bad. But,,,
Try breaking things up, like:
Doppelrad - Dopple is double or twin, Rad is a wheel, so a Doppelrad ist einen Double Wheel.
Ausererrad - Aus is out, ausere is outter, rad is still wheel, so Ausererad is an Outter Wheel (of the double Wheel pair).

Get the idea?

Maybe Pattoncommander or Uhu (or countless others) could be of more help, but this will get you started.

Good luck
Splat

Great Advice! Using the "break-it-down" technique I've managed to "noodle out" a few more terms....

"Bremsersitzlager" is the Brakeman's Seat (literally, "Brakeman's Sitting Position")

"Zugstang" is a Towbar ie, Linkage

"Luftleitung" is an Air Line (shoudda guessed that Luft = Air)

"Druckluft-verbindungschlauch" works out to be Compressed Air Connector Hose

"Absperrhahn" is a Shut Off Valve

"Ramen" is Frame(work) ....

"vorderes Hebebaumlager" is Front Jack ("Lifting Tree" ? ) Position

"Verriegelung" is a Bolting Mechanism

Thanks a Gazillion, Splat !!! Who would of thought R/C Tanking could be so "Educational"???

(BTW, the images are of the Sd.Ah. 202 Bi-Directional Limber ("Trailer" ) for the 88mm FLAK 36. )
