German Words
These may be silly questions...
What does "GELADEN" mean? The Safety on my Luger is marked "Gesichert", but my P-38 is marked S for Safety (Sicher) and F for Fire (Feuer). Are the safetys on other German weapons maked "Gesichert"? |

Re: Actually, the literal translation is "LOADED"
According to an internet translating dictionary it's "Secured". That's my source.

Re: Actually, the literal translation is "LOADED"
"Geladen" means "loaded," according to my German dictionary. "Sicher" means "secure." The translation for "gesichert" is "made safe."

Re: Actually, the literal translation is "LOADED"
I think paper dictionaries should win out over internet translating dictionaries... I'm with Dok, Matt, Ted and Patrick ... Oh wait a minute... I'm Dok! Oh well... that's just my opiniion, I could be wrong.

Re: Actually, the literal translation is "LOADED"
What's this? A bunch of Luger collectors who do not seem to speak proper German, and who rely on internet dictionaries?

Re: German Words
According to the English-German "Worterbuch der Waffen Technik",1972 edition, the word "GELADEN" is translated as:"loaded,armed,charged,activated". The word "GESICHERT" is translated as:"safe,secured,safe-position".

Re: German Words
Geladen means loaded. Gesichert means sure or secured, it is from the same root as Versicherung, which means insurance.
