Obviously these are small details and the game is great even without changing them.

Amen

Brauchitch was the Oberkommando des Heeres and Halder was Chief of the General Staff.
Basically he was Brauchitch's chief of staff.Not really a typo but....

Please(!) remove the "Luftflotten Kommandants".
It has to be "Oberbefehlshaber der Luftflotten". [;)]

Be precisely on this:
Luftflotte = Singular
Luftflotten = Plural

Right. But here it was meant to be Plural.

Meaning was "... die OB der Luftflotten berichteten...". [;)]

Hi,

IG Farben is actually correct.

The company split into four and was renamed but not until the early 50's.

Cheers,

PanzerGruppe to Panzergruppe
Panzergruppes to Panzergruppen

Hi,

As I'm the one who put all the texts together and made some dubious calls on mangling the German language you can blame me for this.

I'm not a German speaker and I've used English reference books on the subject that have taken a relatively consistent naming approach which I've followed.

However there is always room for improvement and if you'd like to highlight areas where my 'German Speak' hasn't passed muster, in this thread, at some point not too far away, I'll take a swing through all the numerous text files and correct things.

Cheers,
Cameron

Maybe this is helpful, Sir:
-> German Military Abbreviations by the US Army Military Institute. April 12th, 1943

[Templer_12]

In German, Herr (Mr. or Sir...) is always Herr (capital letter 'H')

[Meteor2]

Friekorps (wrong) has to be : Freikorps

Cdr. 221 Security Div. GenLt. Pflugbebeil (wrong) has to be : Pflugbeil

[Frido1207]

I remember a reference to "lastwagens" in one of the logistics reports.

In German there is, in this case, no plural "s". Its one Lastwagen, and many / several Lastwagen.

Also in German nouns are always written with a capital first letter. E.g. "Lastwagen."

Hi,

There are a lot of text files in the game relating to different areas.

If you post a suggestion it'd be helpful if you could mention where the offending item was, unless it's a general issue.

Cheers,
Cameron

I wonder if you should not generally call German mechanized/motorized infantry, Panzergrenadier (plural Panzergrenadiere)? But I'm not sure on this.

Chosing the the German side you role-play as Halder,don't you?
Then why is the the player adressed as Field Marshal and not as Colonel General?

Not as Generaloberst (Abbreviation Gen.Obst)?

ORIGINAL: sergeii99

For me it is fine like this, since i dont speak or understand a word of german.

Cheers

We are not talking of the translation of the game in to German language.
We are talking about introducing proper historical German names.
Each strategy player knows what a Feldmarschall, or even a Generalfeldmarschall is.
Almost every strategy player (and viewers/readers of historical documentaries) knows what Heeresgruppe, Panzergruppe, OKW, OKH… stands for.

[Templer_12]

Sicherheitspolizei
Reichsführer
and it's Generalfeldmarschall/Gfm von Brauchitsch, of course [;)]

[Templer_12]

It was the Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda. German: Reichsministerium für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda.

[Templer_12]

Is there a (.) after the month?
It's 'von'

[Templer_12]

What is "Grosstransportraum"? [&:]

[morvael]

Such was the name of theatre (army group)-level truck columns.

Funny.
General Jodl was an Bavarian (born in Würzburg), an avid mountaineer, and 'Kruzitürken is an expression one hears mainly in Bavaria. [:D]
Another Bavarian phrase is "zefix nomoi". Don't ask to explain this...

What 'werkstatts' should stand for?

spielzeuglastwagens = Spielzeuglastwagen - engl. toy trucks?
