Basic German Course BAOR Edition 1964 - 2
During the long sojourn of the British Armed Forces in Germany post 1945, first as British Army On the Rhine and RAF Germany, then British Forces Germany prior to virtual withdrawal, efforts were always made to teach varying levels of German to "squaddies" in Germany.
The Royal Army Educational Corps (today subsumed into the Adjutant General Corps (AGC) and known as AGC ETS - Education & Training Services) organised Basic German Courses at unit level, which could be followed up by the next grade, the Army Colloquial Speaker Course, run at the Higher Education Centre (HEC), Muelheim an der Ruhr.
This booklet, dated 1964, is the RAEC accompaniment to the Basic German Course. It was printed by the Reproduction Section, Forward Stores Depot Royal Army Ordnance Corps.
Although the cartoon pages are a bit tacky (designed for soldiers with little or no formal language training), elsewhere, the book is a good introduction to German Grammar.
