This section began in KTB #115 and is intended to familiarize our Members with many of the German terms we see on the pages of our KTB Magazine. Here we learn that
TAUCHEN meant ’DIVE’.
So now we learn that: AUF TAUCHEN means ‘SURFACE’. I guess the strict literal translation would be ‘UN DIVE’ in the same manner the Italian command to surface is ‘ARIA ALLA RAPIDA’ meaning ‘AIR WITH ALL SPEED’.
