Re: The Forgotten Soldier

Like you, I've always wondered about this.

His first name, I think, could only be pronounced the French way. At school when I was learning German, a teacher said the German equivalent of Guy was Veit. The second name looks French but there would be a logical pronunciation in German. I suppose it all comes down to which language the family spoke at home.
