This worked out calculations needed to set firing points for artillery.

These seem very uncommon, but a must have for the Artillery Officer!

This was made by : kad – unknown wartime maker, 1941 with WaA

Interestingly, there is some sort of joke wrote in pencil in German from an Officer Cadet.

Junker hat gedöst, bist das oberfähnrich ihn erlöst 

Then marked with 13.OA-Lehrg – ( 13 Officier Anwärter Lehrgang )
