Chip Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Yes Männel and it appears he was a Beamte. His rank advancements mention "Unterbeamtenstellvertreter auf Widerruf", which was apparently soon after cancelled and he was forwarded to the rank of Vizefeldwebel. Bernd,For various "umlauted" letters, you can use the ASCII code. So, for instance, you hold down the "alt" key and then type "0252" and then let up, for a "ü" and then alt+0228 for "ä", etc. You can look up the ASCII codes on the Internet, if you want more, such as the numbers that produce the capital Ä (0196) or Ö (0214) and so forth, just refer to the charts.For some reason certain sites will show these letters and then later reduce then to gobbeldigook, so you are probably safer just using the "ae", "oe", "ue", etc.Chip Edited July 6, 2015 by Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernhard H.Holst Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Hello Chip.I was aware of the way to apply some coding but was not very successful. So I do as you write ae, ue etcBernhard H. Holst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
