A ?? RE: the meaning of pilot's nicknames...
Guys:
Some of the better known JW aces had nicknames...some I know: Erich Hartmann was called 'Bubi'(boy or kiddo) because of his youth, Robert Weiss was called 'Bazi' (which someone translated as 'Rascal') but I have a couple more that I have questions about: Wilhelm-Ferdinand 'Wutz' Galland; Emil 'Bully' Lang; So guys, what do these nicknames mean, if you were to translate them, approximately? thanks, ahead of time NickM |
