Hello John,

Not to worry, Dieter, Wolfgang you almost had it right. My German is 47 years old and I can figure out some basics.

The 3 D's must be difficult when learning German as a second language. Learning to use "THE" for almost everything in English was much easier for me.

Reading Luger history in German has helped me to polish my native language. I must admit that some of it sounds strange, for example: Der General, Die Generale, Das Zimmer Des Generals. Die Pistole, Das Gewehr, Die Krankenschwester. Railroad tunnel in German "Der Tunnel" sounds wierd, richtig. THE is a nice, usefull, easy to use word. Enough, sorry.

Good to hear from you.

Regards, Wolfgang ( my friends can call me Dieter!)
