What was Adolf Hitler nickname during World War 2?
Grofaz is one. Der Grosser Feldherr der alte Zeit. The greatest general of all time, which he patently was not ! CORRECTION OF THE ABOVE MISQUOTE AND MISTRANSLATION FOLLOWS: I LIVED IN GERMANY FOR ABOUT TEN YEARS OFF AND ON FROM 1963 TO 1977. I CAN READ AND SPEAK GERMAN QUITE FLUENTLY. I KNEW HUNDREDS OF GERMANS OF ALL AGES DURING THE DECADE THAT I SPENT IN GERMANY. ONE OF THE OLDEST GERMANS THAT I KNEW WAS DR. FRITZ VON WERDER, A RETIRED CHEMIST WHO LIVED IN DARMSTADT, AS DID I, ABOUT 25 MILES DUE SOUTH OF FRANKFURT IN THE GERMAN STATE OF HESSE. DR. VON WERDER WAS A GENTLEMAN, A KIND SOUL, AND A VERY INTERESTING PERSON. HE WAS ABOUT 70 YEARS OLD WHEN I MET HIM, AND ABOUT 77 WHEN I LEFT GERMANY AND RETURNED TO THE UNITED STATES. DR VON WERDER MUST HAVE BEEN BORN ABOUT 1900, SOME ELEVEN YEARS AFTER HITLER'S BIRTH IN 1889. SOMETIME IN THE LATE 1920s OR VERY EARLY 1930s DR VON WERDER WAS A PARTICIPANT AT A SMALL PRIVATE DINNER AT WHICH HITLER WAS THE HONORED GUEST. I ASKED DR. VON WERDER WHAT HIS IMPRESSION OF HITLER WAS AT THE TIME. HE DESCRIBED HIM TO ME AS "EIN BESCHEIDENER JUENGER MANN", (A MODEST YOUNG MAN). DR. VON WERDER ALSO TOLD ME THE STORY BEHIND THE NICKNAME THAT HE AND VARIOUS OF HIS FRIENDS USED FOR HITLER DURING THE WAR YEARS. AS ALREADY STATED, DARMSTADT WAS JUST 25 MILES SOUTH OF FRANKFURT, ONE OF GERMANY'S MOST HISTORIC AND IMPORTANT CITIES, BOTH THEN AND NOW. CERTAINLY ONE OF THE MOST WELL-KNOWN NEWSPAPERS OF THAT TIME, AND STILL, IS "DIE FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG", (THE FRANKFURT GENERAL NEWSPAPER). THIS NEWSPAPER DURING THE HITLER YEARS AND STILL TODAY AMONG GERMANS IS GENERALLY KNOWN AS "DIE FAZ", (THE F.A.Z.), FROM ITS INITIALS. HITLER, BY SOME DARING SOULS, WAS REFERRED TO AS "DER GROEFAZ", WHICH STOOD FOR "DER GROESSTER FUEHRER ALLER ZEITEN", (THE GREATEST LEADER OF ALL TIMES), WHICH WAS SHORTENED DOWN TO "DER GROEFAZ", PRONOUNCED LIKE THE ENGLISH WORD "GREW", THE PAST TENSE OF THE VERB TO GROW. "FAZ" IS PRONOUNCED LIKE DO RE MI FA, WITH A TS AT THE END. THE GERMAN LETTER Z IS PRONOUNCED LIKE AN ENGLISH TS. SO THERE YOU HAVE IT, "DER GROEFAZ", A MOCKING AND DISRESPECTFUL TITLE FOR ONE OF THE TRUE MONSTERS OF RECENT HUMAN HISTORY, DERIVED FROM THE SUPERLATIVE FORM OF THE GERMAN ADJECTIVE FOR "GREAT", "DER FUEHRER", (THE LEADER), HITLER'S TITLE, COMBINED WITH A CHANGE OF MEANING OF THE NICKNAME OF "DIE FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG". USING THIS NAME FOR HITLER WAS NOT WITHOUT ITS RISKS. HAD YOU BEEN CAUGHT DOING SO OR REPORTED FOR DOING SO, YOU WOULD HAVE FACED IMPRISONMENT IN A CONCENTRATION CAMP AT THE LEAST, OR VERY POSSIBLY EXECUTION. DR. VON WERDER, HOWEVER, WAS A BRAVE MAN. HE SPORTED A DUELING "SCHMISS", OR DUELING SCAR ON ONE OF HIS CHEEKS. IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY AND THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY IN GERMANY IT WAS CONSIDERED A BADGE OF HONOR TO HAVE A "SCHMISS" SOMEWHERE ON THE FACE AND EVERY YOUNG GERMAN MAN WANTED TO HAVE ONE. IT WAS A SURE WAY TO IMPRESS YOUNG LADIES WITH YOUR PERSONAL BRAVERY AND GALLANTRY. I HOPE THESE FEW PARAGRAPHS WILL SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON THE MEANING AND SPELLING OF ONE OF HITLER'S MORE AMUSING NICKNAMES. NEIL CAMERON / 6443
