Is this an English language forum?

[TrondK]

As has previously been stated, the title of this forum is WarRelics.eu, that, by it's very nature to me says that we should be using the appropriate native terminology for whatever we are posting, and, if necessary putting an English translation alongside.

Agree.

I find the question that started this thread a little strange, maybe because i am used to speak and read two different languages everyday. Langauge is not an hinder in your life, it is a golden key to open up unknown possibilities for the speaker.

You and me both Gary
My late grandfather used to buy them for me, I think they used to come out monthly in batches of 4 or 5 if memory serves right. I've still got a few of the Commando "books" tucked away in a box in the loft.
He also taught me basic German, he was fluent in the language, being one of the allied soldiers "held back" after the end of hostilities to act as interpreters etc. Probably helped in that he also looked like your "stereotypical Aryan" - fair hair with blue eyes and over 6 feet tall, (He was in the Grenadier Guards!)

Alright Gary, put the books away and do some work.

I think that should be 'Teufel'? For 'devil'?

See, I learnt pretty good German at the Commando comic language school!
