Wie der Feldgraue Spricht: Scherz und Ernst in der Neusten Soldatensprache

Description: This book preserves the language coined by soldiers during the first World War. Exploring the origins, meanings, and military contexts of these terms, the author reveals how the profound experiences of war were translated into the vast lexicon that emerged, from 'coal-bucket helmets' and 'sausages' to 'hate money' and 'potato mashers'. The author demonstrates how this language emphasized the horrors of trench warfare and served as a medium for camaraderie and morale. A deeply researched and engrossing study, this book sheds new light on the linguistic creativity of soldiers, highlighting the resilience and dark humor that punctuated the grim reality of the trenches.
