German Military Symbols, 1944 - S Official.
Quite fun.
Got someting in hard back years ago. The same basic system is still used by the Bundeswhere, but dont try to freehand it on anything smaller than 28mm.
Great link, thanks. The (old) Russian military and map symbols are also quite a lot of fun to decrypt
Cheers,

This site is very useful for all WW2 belligerents' OBs down to unit level.

Ooh... nice. I immediately started thinking of a Crete campaign based on the material there...

Take it by unit you mean a battalion sized thingy John.
Should I be worried that I didn't need the 'translations' for most of the symbols :-B :-\
Probably ;)
