George MC Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 This video covers the translation of one section (Section IV) from a larger pocket-sized booklet, printed by the German military during the later stages of the Second World War titled 'Panzer Hilft Dur!' translates as 'Panzer Helps You!' Section IV in ‘Panzer Helps You!’ covers the mittlerer Schützenpanzerwagon (Sd.Kfz.251), known as the m.S.P.W. or just S.P.W. To provide context I have included a couple of primers regarding the Sd.Kfz. 251 and German SPW advice on correct use and deployment of SPW. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEB14 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) Thanks for this new video. Instructive as ever. End your video editing gets better and better! Just a minor note: SPW means "mittlerer Schützenpanzerwagen", not "mittlerer Schützenpanzerwagon". Our German native speaking Kameraden will confirm, but I do believe the word "Wagon" doesn't exist in German.

Nope, it does. But mainly for (somewhat exclusive) rail cars. Let‘s say a car of the „Orient-Express“ would be called a „Wagon“. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
