Title: For all you German-speakers out there
Post by: Serenity on June 04, 2007, 12:02:48 AM

Whats the proper spelling of 'Fallshrimjager'? (As in German Paratroopers) Ive looked it up, but found 3 different spellings, including the above, and 'Fallschrimjaeger'. I just dont want to be the idiot spelling it improperly. Thanks in advance!

Fallschirmjäger if you're using the a with umlaut, or Fallschirmjaeger (jaeger is pronounced like Yeager) without the umlaut.  

Fallschirmjager is entirely incorrect, even if understandable.

Fallschirm = chute

Jaeger = Hunter

Fallschirmjaeger = Paratrooper(s)
