same here.

it was the last thing i thought of until you mentioned it.

I only remembered having heard of it when you mentioned it... wouldn't have crossed my mind otherwise. Which doesn't mean a lot since I'm neither German (except by ancestry) nor do I live in Germany.

Like Steve the first thing I think about when I hear "88" in relation to something German or WWII is the (in)famous gun.

Actually one of my training buddies is former military (well a lot of them are) but we joke around a lot about me commanding a u-boat, and once when I mentioned sinking a ship with guns instead of torpedoes he was all interested in what kind of guns I had on my boat and I said "an 88-" and before I could finish his eyes got big and I had to stop and say "not THAT 88!"

So... this is germany
My IP-adress for LAN-parties was .88 - first call was "You´re a nazi?"

And for your upcoming activities in german waters, don´t use:

- 88 - Heil Hitler
- 18 - Adolf Hitler
- 28 - shortcut for B&H - Blood and Honour
- 74 - GD = Großdeutschland
- 84 - HD = Heil Deutschland
- 444 - DDD = Deutschland den Deutschen - Germany for germans (only)
- 19/8 - S / H - Sieg heil
- 1919 - 2x 19. letter = SS

Actually the 88 is a number that you shouldn't put in your name over here. It' has been used too much by Nazis to express phrases they aren't allowed to express in their normal form here.
It always leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

@PhanotmLord

I wasn't aware of all the other numbers.

I do so believe that the fear of numbers is an actual phobia. I do so believe that the German government suffers from such phobia.

And why not you put the right string of numbers together and you can split the atom.

And here´s all the dirty rest: symbols and numbers (only german)

Germany really should get past this stuff or are there really that many Nazis today?

Pretty simple alphabet number code for the geniuses using it.
