| k.t.k.a. Kampftruppenkommandeur Explanation: I don't know what the A stands for, but KTK is Kampftruppenkommandeur. Sometimes it is used to refer to the commander himself and sometimes to the unit. I think a Kampftruppe is a combat platoon. --- Eier-Schanze: Stützpunkt nördlich Herméville an der Straße Herméville - N 3. Im Oktober 1918 befand sich dort ein K.T.K. bzw. ein Regimentsgefechtsstand. http://www.geocities.com/welver2000/LexikonE.htm K.T.K. Kampftruppenkommandeur http://www.das-koppelschloss.de/abkuerzungen.htm Am 19.7.17 130 Vorm. erreichte ich unter engl. Artilleriefeuer den Unterstand des KTK (Kampftruppenkommandeurs). http://users.skynet.be/bk230381/briefe/plaenckner.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 0 min (2005-07-31 22:27:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A Kampftruppe is not a regular military unit like a platoon or company. It\'s a unit formed for the specific purpose of assaulting a position. So I wouldn\'t use platoon. Maybe assault force commander would be best. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 9 mins (2005-07-31 22:36:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"Adjutant - a staff officer in charge of and responsible for administrative functions within the unit, including correspondence.\" If it is an assault force, as I believe it is, I doubt they would have time for writing letters. |
