Interesting! I thought it was just a way of conjugating "King"...why would they refer to the infantry as the "Queen of service branches"? Seems somewhat effeminate?

And before I go back to SS Kirk I need to pay some homage to Leonard Nimoy.

Ah, I see what you are getting at. Still seems odd to me in this particular context, must be a cultural thing. :)


Anyways it's good to straighten that out considering that is one of the posters hanging over my head every time I play CoH2.

Die Königin ("The Queen") in this slogan stands as a synonym for the femininity which is delicate and graceful. It stands for beauty and elegance. Using the female term is a form of idealisation.

The King (male) can be honourably, confident and strong but even exorbitant, irascible or unbridled whereas a queen is more self-determined, well-considered and beating time (?) in her actions.

Here is another example:


And the tribute. :D

anti tank dog





The dogs were considered a failure, mainly in large to being trained with soviet tanks which were diesel and the german tanks were petrol so the dogs would run towards the soviet tanks as trained.
