Thumbs ranking
Closing NoteOk, everyone! I'm happy with the Nazi alphabets for now - great work, indeed! Here's the final list - next, let's start planning what to draw! A – Adolf (Picture: Adolf Hitler)
DescriptionRound 1 was very fruitful - now, let's head on to part 2! I've chosen most of them, but we're still missing some. Thanks to everyone who collaborated! Here's the alphabet list at the moment - and also pictures we'll attach to them. There's some ???'s there, there's one thing for you to think, too. What's the easy and clearly understandable picture to accompany the word) A – Adolf (Picture: Adolf Hitler)
As you can see, "C", "I", "X" and "Ä" are still missing - I think they are harder to come up. But as you can see, I'm trying to focus on words that are very easy to understand for anyone, and easy to interpret as a drawing. Also, are we missing some alphabets from official alphabets that would normally be on this list? There was a bit of discussion on this, but I'm not sure if any German was able to confirm? Here's the original task: We're having a Moon Nazi school in the film. In the school, I want these alphabet cards on the wall above the blackboard - you know them, you've had them in your school. This task is closed. Shots LettersA - Arbeit -- You don't use the Führer for a school's alphabet board!
CommentsI think there's no reason they wouldn't use Adolf as the first of the alphabets, since it's practically their Jesus H. Christ on the Moon :) And as Angela noted, Führer and Adolf are two different persons now. And yes, we'll use Schutzstaffel instead of SS - you are right there, two! Seppo, I assume that A/Adolf will be different from F/Führer in the movie, as if I remember correctly, the 2018 Führer of the moonbase Schwarze Sonne, will be a guy called Wolfgang Höss! So no confusion there. :P There was in this tasks definitions that A=Adolf and F=Führer. That is a little bit confusing for a kid learning the alphabet, when the card presnts the same person... - Arbeit is a good suggestion. Thumb up. Yes, using "Schutzstaffel" rather than the acronym "SS" as official definition would probably be more accurate... Remove ä,ö,üIn German ä, ö and ü are not consider as indepenent letters (unlike in scandinavian language), so they should be removed from the Nazi-Alphabet. CommentsSo we keep them :) If you take aany German dictionary, you find any dedicated chapters to ä,ö and ü. If a word start with one of these letter, you find it in the a, o or u section. They actually are. When I went to German elementary school, the alphabet ended on X, Y, Z, ß, Ä, Ö, Ü. Yet there is no word beginning with an ß. Do not remove. Citation from the Duden (German Orthography, spelling dictionary): Die Umlaute ä, ö, ü und äu werden wie die nicht umgelauteten Selbstlaute a, e, i, o und u behandelt. The mutated vowels [...] are treated like the non-mutated vowels [...]. Danke schön, mein Freund! People of german language region have spoken! I’d like to add some suggestions and thoughts:For one, I’d prefer D – Deutschland (picture: map with Germany in the borders of 1941 or so) rather than R – Reich. This would leave R for something more spacy, like ‘Raumfahrer’ or ‘Raumschiff’, with a picture of a Reichsflugscheibe e.g.
I like C – Chemie (chemistry, picture: test tube) and
Missing lettersC - Charakterisierung (Picture depicting racial characteristic of "True Aryan" or racial differences...?) I - irritativ (Picture of Mussolini...?) X - X-Chromosom or XXX (Picture of Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS...?) Ä - Äthanol (Picture of Koskenkorva?) CommentsÄ for Äthanol with Koskenkorva - excellent!  Missing AlphabetsAs a former native German this task was "right up my alley". Sadly There is'nt really that much to work with. Darn difficult letters left... As I understand you want options I thought I'd give you some, but be advised that I've already ordered them according to my preferences (which you naturally need not heed... Always:
C
I
X
If that's no good, Depending on how cast-in stone the script is I'd suggest the moon nazis have (during their 70 odd years stay on the moon) developed a new word starting with X. Ä
HTH,
CommentsGood - I think Ideologie would be the best to fit for letter I. C for Chemie might work too - would need a good, clear picture thought. Ä for Ära - why not. Needs a clever picture idea too. X - Not found yet.  Few suggestions after few Whiskey shots...Achtung! (Panzerwage!)/Autobahn/Ahnenerbe/Adler(eagle)
Would have added some posters, but my external HD refuses to cooperate... CommentsÖlzweig, like the one the dove of peace is carrying! :) Österreich was renamed Ostmark by the Nazis. Ötztal (wher Ötzi was found)
Endings: Diarrhö, Gonorrhö (guess what they mean...)  B wie BlitzkriegQuick graphics assembled as per Jani's idea posted in his comment: http://www.wreckamovie.com/shots/show/5287#comment_11301 
CommentsDas ist gut! Glad you like! ^_^ But never forget that the idea was Jani's in the first place. I merely put together the image. I think nazis could definetly have done something like that. Compare it to this children's game: http://www.calvin.edu/academic/cas/gpa/stuka.htm Nice! Aber jawohl, ein Blitz muss da sein! Ofcourse there must be a flash, when showing a picture about Blitzkrieg! ;) |

Cyanide = Zyanid
Cylons = Zylonen
Sorry guys, but in German, most of the words ar written with a 'Z'.
I didn't think about that. Sorry about my joke, in light of this it feels a bit inappropriate.
Martin: Zyclon B is the agent that the Nazis used to gas people to death in Auschwitz and other concentration camps.
I don't think this is a good idea for Iron Sky.
I would seriously avoid any references to the Holocaust in a comedy film.
Invasion is a good idea. Maybe pictured little bit like this http://www.kypros.org/Occupied_Cyprus/cyprus1974/images/invasion/invasion_poster2_700_bg.jpg (with different flag of course) or as nazi solider on the top of ruins of some building in heroic pose with flag
Cylons? First Nazis and now Cylons? We are all going to die!
