Alpha Bravo Charlie Delta... Auf Deutsch?

Anyone know of a website that tells what the military terms were for the German Wehrmacht in the 1940s?

Im looking for something like Alpha - _____, etc.

What exactly is this fail safe language called exactly too?

Thanks for the help!

 

I have it in a book that's currently at my work, I'll bring it home tomorrow and type it out for ya.

Hang tight, I'll get you the info you need soon.

Langemann

 

Its called the Phonetic alphabet

 

Very good guys.

Gibson--can you kinda narrow the field for me and let me know what kind of Wehrmacht terms you are looking for?

Are you looking for terms of say--German Companies like US Companies--meaning: Able, Baker, Charlie, Dog, Easy, Fox, George, How, Idem, Jack, King, and love? As of the Nam War--these were: Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Easy, etc.

The Germans didnt have a "name" for their Kompanies--they were simply: A company = 1st Kompanie, B companie = 2nd kompanie etc. Mostly I have only seen or heard of German Kompanie formation using onli a number like: 15th Kompanie, 2nd Kompanie--etc.

 

He's talking about Radio Comms and Callsigns.

They are, to my understanding:

Letter : German Name : "Morse code"
a : Anton : "._"
a" : Arger : "._._"
b : Berta : "_..."
c : Ca"sar : "_._."
d : Dora : "_.."
e : Emil : "."
f : Friedrich : ".._."
g : Gustav : "_ _."
h : Heinrich : "...."
i : Ida : ".."
j : Julius : "._ _ _"
k : Konrad : "_._"
l : Ludwig : "._.."
m : Martha : "_ _"
n : Nordpol : "_."
o : Otto : "_ _ _"
o" : O"dipus : "_ _ _."
p: Paula : "._ _."
q : Quelle : "_ _._"
r : Richard : "._."
s : Siegfried : "..."
t : Theodor : "_"
u : Ulrich : ".._"
u" : Uebel : ".._ _"
v : Viktor : "..._"
w : Wilhelm : "._ _"
x : Xanthippe : "_.._"
y : Ypsilon : "_._ _"
z : Zeppelin : "_ _.."

Sorry if that's confusing.

 

I see my communications wires got crossed. I didnt realize that what Modus just put here was what you were looking for? How embarrassing.

 

Kein problem, Mein Herr.

 

Danke mein freund.

 

Here are Gidson. Guess you must of forgot about this.

 

Indeed I did. You and Bish bumped it up - thanks! My new post, however, did mention phonetics, but I am primarily just looking for plain old German combat terms. Just regular German's identifying targets and combat commands in battle.
