Hitler (167 page)
Authors: Joachim C. Fest
***
* The melodramatic translation “warlord” for
Feldherr
has already become traditional in books about Hitler. Strictly speaking,
Feldherr
means no more than “commanding general” or “supreme commander”; its slightly bombastic connotation is exaggerated by “warlord.” But a one-for-one translation of
Feldherr
is sometimes useful. We have therefore adopted “generalissimo,” although that word, too, has a misleading “Chinese” connotation.â
