Help needed with Field or Technical Manuals

[Kriegsmodell]

Can someone help with the identification of information from the front of field, instructional, or technical manuals? Specifically the letters and abbreviations often seen in the upper left corner of the booklet's cover. Such as:

H. Dv.
M. Dv.
L. Dv

These are then followed by a number which I assume is the identification number for the manual. Sometimes there will also be a notation for the number such M. Dv. Nr. 123.

I have assumed that the following: H - Heer; L - Luftwaffe; M - Marine. Followed by different numbers for the respective branches of service. Is this assumption correct?

I am also curious of the following abbreviations noted on manuals:

D.
G. Dv.

Any information would be much appreciated - Lance O. Adams ....

Hi, yes, you are correct:

H.Dv. = Heeres Dienstvorschrift (Army)
L.Dv. = Luftwaffen Dienstvorschrift (Air Force)
M.Dv. = Marine Dienstvorschrift (Navy)

Regarding "D" there are several options:

D.(...) Dienstvorschrift

Luftwaffe/Air Force:

e.G.: D.(Luft)T.8415 = Dienstanweisung für Pumpensatz SH1000
[English: Technical instruction for air force equipment: pump assembly type SH 1000]

Army, resp. all arms of service:

D ....

e.G. D 666/4 Lastkraftwagen 3t MB Typ L3000S ... Ersatzteilliste
[English: Spare parts list for 3t truck MB L3000S]


Unfortunately I've no "G.Dv." in my collection.

D.(...) Dienstvorschrift

Hi Guenter,

I have read in a period manual the D. stands for Druckvorschrift
