He spelt Erkennungshandbuch correctly EDIT: oh yeah, he missed the D... its just all those n's and u's make things a little confusing to look at.
JonZ, can I suggest you use a different font than the one you have used...
Traditional gothic and blackletter fonts were being phased out by the NAZI regime, and its very unlikely (more like forbidden) that it would have been used on military documents.

The type of lettering that you see on German documents of the time is a "perversion" of these traditional fonts called Schaftstiefelgrotesk (An example of which you see on my sig below).
This is a font called tannenberg fett, freely available on most font sites.
