Hi gents!
I need help identifying the text on the telegraph in the following video.
Maybe someone has a hires photo of a similar telegraph from another kriegsmarine ship?
So far I have:

Voraus
??Stopp, Stopp, Achtung, ??????, KleineF, LangsF, HalbeF, ?????, GrobeF, ??GrobeF, AlleF, ??AlleF, ÄuB.Kr.

Zuruck
?????, LangsF, HalbeF, Äub.Kr

You can see it at minutes 7:00 and 16:21.

Cheers!

Is there any german speaking person here who can help me to translate what order he gives at 7:00 when he spins the telegraph?
It is "All machines, Two?, something, something, half speed ahead (halbe fahrt voraus)".
Thanks in advance!

The command is "all engines 2 times half speed ahead"
That should be correct.
