Talk:Führer

What is Fuhrer?
As per this edit:. The alternative to Führer (without diacritics) is Fuehrer, not Fuhrer. Does Fuhrer exist as another word? Anatoli 23:06, 11 August 2009 (UTC)


 * It’s an English word. Some people copy the German capital, others do not. Some people can manage the diacritic, others don’t bother. The Fuehrer spelling is pedantic, something that only German students are likely to know about. —Stephen 01:48, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Since it doesn't have another meaning, I have made Fuhrer a redirect to Führer. Anatoli 11:28, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Confusing text
Now, I don't know German but stumbled across this page which says in German usage notes: The word is now often replaced with other terms (such as Anführer or Leiter) when referring to a guide or leader and not used in a compound. Führer is still a perfectly acceptable word, however.

What does the last part mean? Hkbusfan (talk) 09:31, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * It means that in can be used freely without further qualification or quotation marks in everyday communication. It's historically tainted but still in common use today. – Jberkel 08:56, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Added three cites that have the non-German plural, are not italicised and are not from translated material. — Ungoliant (falai) 00:17, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
