It petered out when the OP bailed a few pages ago. Keep up old man:D And try to think of some good nazi puns. If you can.

I wannsee some more

The reason for replacing 'German concentration camps' with 'Nazi-German concentration caps' was that some German felt offended that not all Germans were 'nazis' during the war so the concentration camps shouldn't be attributed to those goods ones only to the bad ones, thus Nazi-German.
If you say that 'Kraut' submarine is offensive, there is something wrong with the reasoning behind 'Nazi sub is OK' as it is a synonym of German in relation to the issue with the concentration camps.
No one has really explained why 'nazi sub' doesn't appear outside newspaper context if it is to be treated as a substitution of 'German sub'.
I was even told that I shouldn't feel upset regardless if the Atlantic theater is my favorite one (dafaq?)

Don't Goebels your Thanksgiving dinner. I'm not sure the puns can go any fuhrer.

Hiel try to think of a few.
:hmmm:

That's not funny, anne frankly I'm offended.

Well I reckon Hess taking the pee now.

This is becoming a Bormann.

And you better answer your phone. Euringer is annoying.

This thread is Goering nowhere!

You're being Rudin pessimistic now.

I donitz see how we can keep this up....:O:

Well Frick! Don't get yourself in a Funk over it!

You Myer try a bit harder.

It's not Wirth the effort.

Well, you know what they say..."If the cap Fritz"

That's easy for Ulz to say.

Don't want to open a Kanne of Worms again, just my 2 Pfennig here.

Late to the thread, I'm sure I say nothing which hasn't been said over the last 15 pages. I agree that a machine can't have an ideology, therefore I think in reporting "Nazi uboat" is just as awkward as "Commie AK" - "Soviet gun" is ok, as this was the name of the country. Everyday language is a whoile different pair of shoes. During my daily utterances, I usually add Nazi to everything I dislike crappy automobilist: nazi-driver, bad music: nazi-sound, etc.

However the whole proportion is way off. I am happy that the subsim staff fetches some news for us, glad they provide the work and glad they stick to legitimate sources and no fringe websites. The Huffington post is a mass media, a very mediocre one too, so it's somehow explainable they use mass language, it's not a historic journal.
Looks like the Huff Post is also capable to report in more neutral language: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...n_1713401.html :hmmm:

k, this Hess been enough.

back to the (very enjoyable:haha:) lingo wordplay - it's much harder for a native speaker to come up wirth a clever one than I thought.

A question to the English speakers: When I say "uboat", would the other person assume we talk about German WW1/2 subs or does the word usually refer to all submarines from Germany?

I would usually think you were referring to either.

Same here.

The two wars, I wouldn't call your 212As U-boats, even though they belong to the 1. Unterseebootgeschwader.

I'm off to McDonald's now for my other job Stauffenberg-ers into buns.
