Re: Kriegsprache
I'll second that! Kriegsprache is an outstanding reference and is well worth the price. It is hands down the best dictionary of the sort available.

Re: Kriegsprache
Beside "Kriegssprache" you can call it "Landersprache" or even better "Landserjargon".
Here are some examples, unfortunately I'm not able to translate them, because I don't know the english terms...
http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Sol ... ecke-R.htm
It's interesting, that a lot of those words are still used in the german language, even by civilians, like "Knarre" (gun), "Donnerbalken" (toilet) or "gammeln" (slouching) just to name a few of them.
Best regards,
Steffen
