stevenbecker Posted 4 July , 2020 Share Posted 4 July , 2020 Mates, I notice this after translation from Turkish, but I don't know what it is? Grossmann Capt Isildakla haberlesme birligi baskani Almanya'dan 30 personlle gelir (Head of communication (Sig unit radio or Wireless) with Isildak is coming from Germany with 30 people) Pflug Lt 30 kisilik Isildakla haberlesme birliginde sorumlu subay (Responsible officer in a 30-person communication with Isildak) (Sig unit) Unless Google translate has got it wrong, then what it is has me? Any ideas here? Cheers S.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaureenE Posted 5 July , 2020 Share Posted 5 July , 2020 Perhaps something connected with a heliograph? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliograph Cheers Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 5 July , 2020 Share Posted 5 July , 2020 Mates, Yes haberlesme is communication, so Isildakla must be some form of Communication? Both are good ideas. The Germans had many different comms units in Turkey and Palestine So I am open to other ideas S.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emrezmen Posted 5 July , 2020 Share Posted 5 July , 2020 (edited) It was probably a "Blinkgerät" unit. "Işıldak" means "flashlight" or "signal lamp" rather than "searchlight". Both heliograph (far left) and "ışıldak" (second from left) can be seen in this famous photo of an Ottoman signal unit: See also: http://firstwartechnik.free.fr/Dallprojecteurs.html Cheers Emre Edited 5 July , 2020 by emrezmen Second photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 5 July , 2020 Share Posted 5 July , 2020 (edited) Emrezmen, Mate yes that's what I found, some type of "flash light", but Signal light seams more correct. Thanks gives me more ideas of what it was. The signal device on the hellmet looks interesting? S.B Edited 5 July , 2020 by stevebecker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
