Hello Mr. Tore,
I have completely gone through Skizzenbuch for hopefully a last time looking for any words that should not be used when describing anything within a U-Boat. Those words which you have impressed upon my newly learned vocabulary such as closed/shut, dive tanks/ballast tanks, ventilation valve/vent valve (2 very different systems), flood valve/Kingston, dive plane/ hydroplane, and of course wench/winch. (Wench) Obviously we don't want women with loose morals on a U-Boat; except in a crewman's romantic dreams.
The only thing I don't have yet is the foreword written by Jak P. Mallmann Showell. I believe he wants to wait until the publisher produced an approved version of the book. He liked the book's general idea and format, but took issues with the German text, and perhaps my writing skills. I got help from Mark Hessburg with the German text, and I have attempted to improve my writing skills.
I have uploaded the version of Skizzenbuch 11 x 17 - M that I will send to Schiffer Publishing along with my Leather bound metal post binder to be used as a general layout guide for the publishing entry personnel.
Again, thank you for all your help with Skizzenbuch...
Kind regards,
Don_
