Ich denke, daß der Gestapo Büroschneider verrückt geworden ist, und Personal versucht, mich das ab Schalter durch Erreichen durch das Durcheinander mit dem Faß eines leichten Maschinengewehrs, ohne viel Erfolg zu befinden. Ted

Ted's post via Google:
"I think that the Gestapo office Schneider mad, and staff tried to switch from me by reaching through the tangle with the barrel of a light machine-gun, without much success there."
So still makes no sense...

I think that the Gestapo became moved office cutter, and personnel tries, me starting from switch by reaching by the disorder with the barrel of a light machine gun, without finding much success

But since I understand barely a word of it, for all I know it might have.
Guten tag.

Der bolt in mein Mauser K98k rifle has seized up because it's got der wrong grease on it. I'll strap it to the exhaust of mein Horch staff car to warm it up.

1)What`s going on?
Wermacht soldier complaining that the bolt in his rifle has seized.
2)locations
Poland, Norway, Sweden and the Eastern Front.
3) reveal the motoring context.
BMW started making rifles in Italy in addition to motorcycles in Germany.
4) Caption
BMW should never have opened a rifle factory in Italy. Italian grease is no good in cold weather.
5) What is it?
Copy of Mauser Karabiner 98 Kurz rifle made by BMW in Italy.
6) Describe "the four positions of deployment"
1. Unlock the bolt.
2. Place the cartridge in the breech.
3. Push the bolt forward and then rotate it to the right.
4. Pull the trigger.
After the problem was discovered, the working clearances of the bolt were increased to prevent seizures in cold weather.

`Its all in hand really - between the (mentioned) finger and the other thumbnail - In fact Tom Thumb would just about be able to get a handle on it - or even a `?` - perhaps.`
`The finger and the thumb and the central `?`..... hardened grease on the shaft risking a break and loss of control`
