Hi everybody or should I say
" Guten Tag " to teach a bit german habits ;).
I came to the forum almost everyday, but I was overwhelmed by a discussion about assassinations so that I couldn’t partake. Moreover, I’m very astonished about the evolution a topic called “Karelian complex” can have :o .
Finally I go right in the middle of talking about german customs.
I think you mean " Zum Wohlsein", it’s almost the same when anglosaxon people take glasses and say “cheers”.
We intend with “Wohlsein” that the sneezer has to recover from his sneeze, the same like cheers? I don’t know…. :cry:
Now I have a question for you. What the hell is the meaning of " You’re welcome…" Everytime I enterd and left a shop or asked someone something he replied those two words - actually three. Does it mean that I’m welcome to him to talk about my diseases, pain and all other problems. :wink:
In Germany we aren’t that encouraged and that friendly towards eachother, it is more a sober way of living together. Germans use those nice phrases more economically, for example if a German says “You’re welcome, Sie sind willkommen”, he means this exactly in regard of all the consequences that the addresse can make use of.

So far so good and have a great time :D

Hehe, nice question.
In Germany, in schools we focus on the cruels of the nazi regimes especially on the holocaust. We learn about the perversity that mankind can evolve and that the death is a master from germany.
On the contrary, recent events in germany show that antisemitism isn’t anymore that unpopular in the public.
Of course, the overwhelming majority of Germans strongly supports Israel and their people by money and “Bundeswehr” weapons, such as the U.S. do… :-).
In addition, we learn that Hitler admired the U.K. especially their expansion by claiming colonies all over the world. Concerning to Hitler’s theory we learn about this fact and we conclude that he wants in someway to imitate the way of the former worldpower U.K. to establish a strong force against bolchevism. All of you know, how it ended… :)

We also learn that Communists are bad, not only from the fact that more people died by the communist regim in the USSR than in the holocaust.

A rather interesting fact is that we still call the D-Day an “invasion” not an release from the nazi regime such as the French people do or something in this way. Of course, it freed us from a scary way of life, but this action penetrated our former state line and I am happy that there is no more a nazi government.

Enough of history. For my part, I personally avoid to play the allies, I can’t
hurt my national pride. Consequently, I prefer playing the axis, yet this is my own way of thinking an my German mates can play the allies without andy doubts or regrets… :-)

So far…
Another dumb question :)
Do you like to play the U.S.? Of course…? :)

I’m sorry, but there is no real historical association to this nick…
It is my own creation, I am German and I chose the nick because I like to cause puzzle at my sorrounding people by using somekind of “angry phrases combined with irony”; however, I can’t do so in English, for I don’t know the words and meanings that good.
Consequently, I combined “Runen” - in German it can be associated with “words” or “handwriting”, the words I use - with “zorn” - it means “fury”, the fury I cause by using special phrases in German, of course. :)

That’s it, nothing else :).

Your name bangalore…
Uhm, I only know it from the film “saving private ryan”. I think they are the grenades used for destroying the german “fences” ??? A scary film and extraordinary bloody… “schüttel”<— “i’m freezing by remembering it”

Your history for your name?

Have fun :)

Hi guys.
I’ve a dumb question concerning the russian IC in Karelia. If it gets conquered by the germans for example, germany can only build the three units, for there Karelia provides only three IPcs.
My question is: Suppose, Russia frees Karelia, is it able to build as many units as Russia want to build their or is the number now limited to three because the IC is now a captured IC and no longer an original one?

Many thanks for your answers and thinking time :)
