That sounds more Germanic, which is befitting his service in the Wehrmacht, although it would not necessarily have to be - "Marseille" is one example. And, yes, you are right about about "parler" (and the other "er" verbs, as they were called in our French language education - I think there must be more to that oversimplified rule, perhaps it applies to nouns). I've also heard contradictory information whether Sajer is living or not - anyone know? Thanks again !
