The last set of codes, covering those from L to Z, has been broken up into two separate lists, the first covering the codes from F-OZZ, and the last being a complete listing of the known codes from P-Z as reported in John Walter's book referred to below. This last list is probably not complete, but very few of the codes after OZZ have been positively identified, and John Walter's book is the best single source of information about them that I have at hand. Submissions of updated information will be cheerfully accepted and included as time allows, but only if the information is accompanied with cited references to published works.

Hi everybody!
I just want to let you know that my publisher has printed new books. It wasn't easy because there is not much money to earn, but finally they agreed to make a second print run. Please note that it's not a second edition. The content is unchanged.

If someone couldn't get one during the past month because it was sold out ... please feel free to contact me. It's available again.

Price is still the same (63 USD by airmail incl. postage on your own risk or 66 USD for a registered and insured airmail-package).

With best wishes
Michael

This is fantastic! As collectors we need all the reference material we can get our hands on, and this looks to be a valuable addition. Thank you for putting the work into it and I sincerely hope that your published work sells well. I'll do my part to get the word out.

Hello,
thanks for the kind words

It took me seven years with research to finish that book ... and also it took a long time to find a publisher. Now I'm trying to make my book known, because the publisher is not doing any advertisement. I'm not doing it for business and there is no chance to earn money with it, but it's a hobby and good feeling to have an own book

With best wishes
Michael

Hopefully, this has not yet been posted: my apologies if it has been. I received today news that the following book has now been published & is now available. I have nothing to do with the book or publisher, I offer the following purely as information to those of us who have been waiting so long for such a reference. To quote:

Dear friends and collectors,

after many years of hard work, my book "Deutsche Fertigungskennzeichen bis 1945" about the secret German manufacturers codes of WW2 is now finished.

These codes were used to cover the manufacturers names on weapons, ammunition and every other kind of military equipment like parts of airplanes, vehicles, ships or radio equipment.

The book has more than 500 pages, is sorted in two ways (after codes and after company-names), contains ALL code systems (abbreviations, number-codes,...
