This is German-English, not German-American

The name that says it all is “Oxford-Druden”. However, this is an indispensable dictionary. Every page has a picture on it with numbers pointing to objects. The opposing page has the numbers pointing to words written in German and English. The English take a little getting used to (suspenders = braces, elevator = lift, and so on. Can you say exposure control device in German (die Belichtungssteuereinrichtung.) tried that without pictures?

The dictionary is continuously updated. However, this is the copy that supported me through German Class and I still use it today when navigating German-language books
