How do you say "The Grey Wolves" in German?

Die Grauen Wolfen -- I think, with two dots over the O

Guten Abend, Kptlt. Grey,

I'm guessing your question is about how to pronounce "Die Grauen Wölfe" since it's easy enough to Babelfish the text. Naja... "Die" sounds like "Dee," and "Grauen" is pretty much just as it looks, except the German "r" is more like throat-clearing than the English "r". "Wölfe" if spelled phonetically might look like, "Voelfa." Though the umlaut ö is often written as oe, it's not quite that simple for Englanders; the mouth-shape takes time to learn.

I think the phrase is used at least once in "Das Boot" if you have a copy -- by the captain of the Weser (the supply ship in Vigo), I believe.

Mach's gut!

I think there is no way to pronounce that the right way with the englisch vocabulary because the ending 'e' of Wölfe gets it's own phonetic symbol in german. It's called 'schwa' and is pronounced something like a mixture of the german 'a' and 'e'.

Right, but what has that to do with 'The Grey Wolves' ?
