I got all the letter codes that the germans have stamped in a book, it is a copy of the original code book that was top secret in the war. In the book u can find the code and their manufactor, like i typed it, is how it stands in the book. sorry for the bad English

Thanks edelweiss for your info it´s much appreciated. Can you give us the book title? And don´t worry about your English, mine is not better (That´s the fate of people whose mother language isn´t English).

I don't know the title, mine copy has none, but i think the book was orange with "geheim" or something on it.
So if u got any letter codes that u want to know, i'd be happy to help u with searching them in my book.

[0200818]

this is the better Tragestell 39. visited the sama place yesterday where these were found. just before snow covered polar circle. Found also this saw in picture. Still works fine. Cuts wood like a new

I removed this plate from tank many years ago in Lapland. I had forgot whole thing until I discovered this plate again this christmas. The question is, what tank this was? Any ideas? Allied - hence the english?
