Hans, do you really live in Germany and don't know what a Büstenhalter is? Just how old are you anyway? LOL Regards, Kaschner

No, he can't be German. Perhaps he lives in Germany but does not speak the language.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Sure, I'm living in Germany, currently in the Reichsprotektorat South-East Europe... :lol:

I'm preparing an english translation of Nuremberg document NO-1257, which deals with the "realization of textile-salvage" from the deportions of Jews to Auschwitz and Majdanek and I didn't know how to translate the above words without the good old Langscheidt.

@Heraklit

Many thanks!!!

@Timo

Be careful, Timo, you could insult our turkish migrants, who do not know any of the above word and are Germans. Unfortunately, thought the Bundesländer yesterday and passed a law restricting migration to Germany.

regards,
Hans

Read it again, Gang. I think das junge Haenschen knows what all those things were. He just didn't know the English words for those articles.

Yes, of course, you must be right. Stupid of me!

Hans,

My apologies! My mind must have been in very low gear.

I understand. I made a very similar mistake with Schmauser in the NAZI DEATHS? thread. :oops:

I hope so, as they say Was das Hänschen nicht lernt, lernt Hans nimmermehr. Especially if I think about the Büstenhalter. :wink:

I should know that in an english board it is expected that you do not know german words, and not the english ones. My mistake.

Hans

Hans et al.

I'm sorry about the use of dipthongs rather than umlauts. My computer crashed and I haven't gotten my German keyboard reinstalled yet.

I hope to have it back soon

Zap, we all break rules. As I recall, foreign words need to be either underlined or put in italics, so what you and I both are doing in regard to umlauts is actually unacceptable either way.
