Weiner? You mean Wiener and yes that's a "weener" (the city is called Wien).
And no, an Umlaut (I think you mean "ü" in this case) would make it sound like...er...like....uhm.....I think you don't have that sound in your language so I can't provide an example....

Actually one did. As Warneford's Zeppelin fell burning over a convent, killing a nun on the ground, one Zep's crewmember leaped for his life at two hundred feet, crashed thru the roof of a dorm and landed IN A BED and walked away unscathed...trust the force Fritz! With 970,000 cubic feet of hydrogen gas, I would wonder where they found men to fly those ships.

Wurst comes to worst .. sry

You needed some guts to join the Zeppelin branch for sure, just saying .. with or without sausages.
Just was in F'fhafen in the archives to find out some info about a relative of our family, who belonged to the crew of naval airship L59.

Guts does not define it properly, but on the other hand you were killed as a 16-year old with almost no education, in the trenches. So if you had the chance to escape that ..

Thanks and greetings,
Catfish
