It will never stop being weird to me that you anglos just translate his first name to Frederick / Fred instead of going with Friedrich / Fritz, it's as if i was calling Biden and Stalin "Jupp" because that's the traditional short form for Joseph in the Rhineland.

Wait i've actually called Stalin Jupp in the past nvm

Edit: RIP my inbox lol

these replies are actually really informative

Really? I've regularly seen English translations on here where he's called that.
