“German for Reenactors”
This CD is intended to help WW2 German reenactors learn and correctly pronounce vocabulary not found in traditional language
courses. It starts with the basics – the alphabet and numbers and moves through more advanced subjects from equipment to
tactical commands and conversation. As with any typical language CD, you will hear the word or phrase first in English and then
repeated 1-3 times in German separated by enough space for you to practice your pronunciation. Follow along in the printed
guide – if you don’t have one, you can either download it from the membership section of our website www.11thpanzer.com or
print it from the file included on this CD.
Though there is a copyright on this material, you are allowed, even encouraged, to make copies to distribute to others as long as
the CD is not sold for profit. Please send all comments, questions, corrections, suggestions, etc., to neumann@11thpanzer.com
