help needed for Narichten WP

[daco]

hello

I have a wehrpass from an NCO of the Narichten Truppen (signal corps)

his service started in 1935 ! and in fact he is from Austria
He served in different Narichten Abteilungen (some were motorized unit)

I found it hard to translate the 2 pages about instruction. It might concern signal training I think



page 20

I think gewehr M95 and MG 7/12 shoul be austrian weapons (??) but what are the 2 NCO courses ??

page 21

he had 3 classes driving lessons but what are the other ones courses ??

thanks for your help

regards

daco

I am curious about the first line/second line use entries. Does this indicate primary and secondary use, or front line and rear area use, does anyone know?

As far as I know it means primary use and secondary use....in this case he will deal with rations, however if there is no use in his primary position he would deal with clothing.
