Customer Review

It is an impressive and touching testimony time in the chest pocket. In just over 60 pages of the British soldier on the terra incognita is informed that he is about to enter, in a strange, high-density mixture of history books, guides and Knigge. Fast forward German history and German character will be explained, and the not so wrong when you consider how little differentiation allowed the slightness of this booklet. Dealing with former members of a master race should have been no longer a problem after reading the instructions actually; but it is strongly warned that some with whom you will get done that could see the Ehemaligkeit somewhat different.

Of course, much read up comic from today's perspective, not least the warnings about the dangers of fraternization, warnings that were then also not last too long. German cuisine - so the common soldier despite fraternization order should come into contact - is devoted to a quite appreciative side, however, the ends with the sentence "Germans do not know how to make tea," an indication that perhaps more distance between occupiers and occupied led as the fearsome figures for prevalence of the female body politic with STDs.

The selection of useful phrases along with pronunciation tips also makes a lot of fun: "Shtayen dee boyma disht in deezem vahlt?" will probably not often come to use as "shprisht yaymant english?". Yes, the German "ch" - more difficult to defeat than the Wehrmacht ...

Bottom line, it must be noted that seldom on so few pages the ratio between nations was detained as pragmatic as here in this book - an impressive document of contemporary history, which certainly was not planned as such. And who wants to know what advice were those British soldiers with given the way who had the good fortune to be stationed in France, which are the corresponding "Instructions for British Servicemen in France" warmly recommended (review qv).
