Susano Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 I need a good German name for a generic flame-thrower trooper. This is for a WWII scenario. Something like "Armored Fire Trooper" or some such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
"V" Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Re: Need Some Name Help (in German) As an informal nickname "Feuerdrachen" (firebreathing dragon) may do, but given the usual German army way of naming things - very practical but lacking in artistry - their official name could be Panzer Flammenwerfer Soldaten (Armoured Flamethrower soldiers). More pulpy alternative: Die Feuerbestattung Kriegern - the Cremation Warriors. You'll probably have to work out the correct plurals, I seem to have the wrong brain in today.

Guest Major Tom Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Re: Need Some Name Help (in German) Gepanzertes Feuer Trooper would be a more acurate translation of your orignal name. I thought that the German word for "Troopers" was Truppen. Major Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
