Escht Posted April 8, 2023 Share #23327 Posted April 8, 2023 I picked up this original Second Army Intelligence Summary at a flea market on Thursday.

No idea, just thought it was strange thing to find in an official intel report, guess they must have captured a couple of elephants. 17 minutes ago, manayunkman said: 29 minutes ago, atb said: Second British Army?

Escht Posted April 8, 2023 Share #23338 Posted April 8, 2023 A search on the internet and I found pictures of an elephant being used in Hamburg being used to clear away wreckage. Apparently the German authorities used 2 elephants from the Hamburg Zoo to help clear up after air raids and this work continued after the war. Presumably these were the 2 elephants. I haven't shown the photos on here as i'm not sure about the copyright implications . I used the search ' elephants in germany 1945 ' on Google images and turned up several pictures.

It was more like a pamphlet or booklet than a book. I memorized some of the phrases and used them when playing War with friends as a kid but can't recall any of them now. I left it with dad when I moved from home. No idea where it is now but wish I had it. I've looked for a copy but never found one just like it. Your posts have me thinking about looking around again. Mikie I found this online. It is not the book my Dad had, but it was only $5 so couldn’t pass it up. Dad’s booklet definitely said Japanese combat phrase book on the cover and had far fewer pages. This book has a few pages of military words and phrases but is mostly civilian related. The search continues for the book like my Dad had. mikie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
