The Germans call one of their APCs "Marder". Does that translate into "Maruader"?

The way you have it spelled, (MARDER) is a noun ,meaning a mans name, in english it would translate to Martin. -- MARAUDER (noun) would be plunderer in deutsch. -- hope this helps!!--ALLONS11

Hi,

I speak german (father is german) and am only familiar with the word "Marder" as a persons last name.

Marder means "Marten", like the small weasel-like creature.
Their abc-sniffer tank is called the tracking fox (Spürfuchs).
A small vehicle the size of a pickup truck is the weasel (Wiesel), carries a crew of 4 and either a mortar or a 20mm cannon.
Tschüß,

My favorite expression is:

Lass mir ma ruah und gib mir a heube -gel?...loosely translated from Bavarian means, "leave me in peace and give me a (half liter) beer - ok?"
