- kstrauser 2y agoI get what you’re saying. I wouldn’t pick it for myself. Still, he’s from Switzerland where German is a local language, and that’s a normal German word outside the Nazi usage. It wasn’t one of the ones they invented themselves. I think it’s closer to, say, “beer hall”, which isn’t inherently Nazi even though “beer hall putsch” was their thing. They can still have beer halls.
- markus_zhang 2y agoIsn't "Werewolf", a common D&D monster (well, actually probably uncommon or even rare in D&D world, but you get what I mean), has the same pronunciation? I guess the Nazis just picked something that sound scary and stealthy.
