the english language even uses swedish words.
Smorgosbord (Smörgåsbord) and Ombudsman (Ombudsman)
If you can name a language, english probably has a loan word from it.  BTW, I'v never heard of either of those words.  What do they mean?

Oh and AFAIK Dutch is actually closer related to English then German, that is there is more "Low Germanic" (Dutch, low German etc.) in ENglish then High German (which is the "official" German).

Yet low german is german.  ;) In no way less then standard german. Just not used as lingua franca.

Nay. I've read an article about the influence of the Dutch language, rucksack is from the Dutch word rugzak. A sack on your back. Anyways, most influence from Dutch was on the naval words. Alot of modern words still used in the international navy are decendent from the words used by the Dutch navy.

Panzergrenadiere are the slaves of the tankers. They are the little ants between them keeping em covered against infantry. In a world war III scenario the average lifespan of tanks is very short. And even shorter for the Grenadiers. They are just dogfood, somewhere between a chain of a friendly tank, a chain of the enemy tank, deafening noise and cracking steel. Simple toys for the tanks to play with. You can expect a quick death here. You'd be better of joining the pioneers.

Yes, and I have read an article about the influence of the german language and rucksack is from the german word rucksack. Written exactly the same way.   ;)

It was in no magazine, it was an essay in a scientific book to be precise.
And I always thought "german propaganda" was a call for "yes this it true"!

The neutral way I guess. Mine was a popular Dutch science/history magazine.

He's right. If we don't attack in the next few years, we will be screwed, because then we will need boats to enter dutch terrain.

Want to buy some boats? Need to make some money before the Dutch apocalypse.

Anyways enough off-topic for me, I feel Lobo's whip in the neighbourhood.

Nope, Wehrmacht had them as well. I think there were actually some Fallschirm-Panzergrenadiers....
