I thought Deuter was German but I could be way off. I'm from the UK and was taught the following as an SOS using a whistle

6 blasts at 10 second intervals
Wait 60s
Repeat

Can't remember if there was a reply

So I think this (6 blasts/minute) might be the European code. Of course you could also use morse code for SOS
dot dot dot dash dash dash dot dot dot
(using short and long blasts) does this still get taught in Scouts/military etc?
