German Language Question

I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!

A question for all of the German scholars out there: If I wanted to track down a training manual on Imperial German close order drill, you know, the parade square stuff:

"Attention!" "Stand at Ease!" "Present Arms!"

What German language keywords would I need to search ebay or one of the book finding services?

I have plenty of "Dienstunterricht" manuals but none of them touch drill.

Cheers,

Laurie
 
Laurie, A few months ago I was offered a large amount of various army training manules from a German contact I have. I'm not sure if he still has them, but I you would like a list of what he had I can send it to you via e-mail. Drop me a PM if your interested. I had a friend translate the general meaning of each manual.
 
Hi guys,

I dont really know how pickelhaube is pronounced, I used to think that its pronounced as Pickelhaub, without the 'e', till I found this site,

http://www.cepstral.com/cgi-bin/demos/general

pls choose Mathias and fire away, and it pronounced something like pickelhau-bah/pickelhau-beh, is that correct?

Hope this helps,
Btw, the site is also fun :D

Hi Laurie,

Attention: Still gestanden!
Stand at Ease: Rührt Euch!
Present Arms: Präsentiert das Gewehr!

Hi Glenn,

Many thanks, we're headed in the right direction.

If I wanted to find a training manual with that sort of training material in it, what keywords would I use to run a search?

Cheers,

Laurie
