German Speech
 

Does anyone speak German?

If so please PM me as I require two short speeches which are:

Nothing Captain

Yes Sir

Thanks
Rob

Man, I bet the average American could tell you the second one.

Jawohl herr Kaleun

"Jawohl hërr Kaleun" means "yes Captain (Kapitanleutnant)" as far as i know.

Yes Sir would be "Jawohl"(as it is an acknowledgment...a military acknowledgment?) but, i think it was standard in the german armed forces answer to the rank of the person giving the order.
I mean... a schutze would answer an oberleutnant by saying "jawohl hërr oberleutnant"

I think he needs audio tho.

Nothing Captain - Nichts, Herr Kapitaen (Kapitän) as the rank is Captain

The Captain of a U-Boot was a Kaleun, therefore it should be "Nichts, Herr Kaleun".

Yes Sir - Jawohl! or Jawohl, Herr 'Rank' (it works/worked without the rank too)

Do you need the audio files too?

Jawohl alone works too? even if it's a sailor dressing an officer?
I'm just saying it because as far as i know, in the EA (Argentine Army) a bottom echelon soldier will address a lieutenant as "Sí! mi teniente" (yes, my lieutenant)

also, a U-boat commander wasn't necessarily a Kapitanleutnant.

We Germans don't like our officers so much, they keep on making trouble.
In the Federal Army it doesn't matter what rank your superior has, it stays a "Jawohl, Herr (Rank)" from Feldwebel up to Bundespräsi. If the one you're adressing is from your TE (Teileinheit - squad or platoon) and it's not a stress-situation (combat, dressing down or some high ranking bug is there) a "hmmm" or a nod might also be sufficient.

Yes I need the audio files. So I guess it would be Nichts, Herr Kapitan and Jawohl Herr Kapitan.

I wish to use these audio files for my movies.

Thanks. PM for me for my email address.

@gmuno or mittelwaechter

Can you write what is said when you order WO to choose target i.e "nearest merchant, recommend target etc"?

I can order a beer in German. Would this help? The head start program. We also learned to ask where the train station was in German? So when I am in Germany I can find a train station and order a beer. :yep: Plus they have McDonalds. :DL

Hello Rob,

in case you need audio files I can help you out. Tomorrow I have access to my micro so I could record some samples. But I don't want to get in the way of your agreement with Mittelwächter, so you decide if you need the samples from me.

Regards
Mr. Fleck

Hello kranz,

the translation for "Marking nearest merchant" is "Nahegelegensten Frachter markiert" and for "Marking recommended target" he says "Empfohlenes Ziel markiert".

Cheers!
Mr. Fleck

How be it that you do:

"Nothing Sir" and "Yes Sir" so that I have a different Yes Sir
