0 Enigma Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) Post war. Ww2 ones are dated and have KRAFTSTOFF instead of treibstof. Treibstoff would literally translate to propellant I think. In feuergefahrlig it almost looks like instead of ä it says ö . Edited February 7 by Enigma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Translated its more a description of what it is or does. Antreibung means propulsion or to propell. Stoff is substance. So it says Propellant- / propelling substance or in short propellant. A bit difficult because I am Dutch but can read German and then translate to English. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
