Escape from France - August 1944

From: Lieutenant-Colonel Harris
To: All Pilots
German forces have broken out of Bourgogne and have overrun everything form Saint Lo to Angers.  All British and American counteroffensives have been met with fierce defenses, and the Canadians have been unable to hold the territory they've gained after each offensive.  We have another Dunkirk situation on our hands, and I fear Hitler may not be as hesitant this time around.  Just head in a northwestern direction till you reach the English coast.  Airbases are heavy on the British coast, so you should have no trouble finding a place to land.  German activity is at a maximum, so stick to the clouds and stay on the alert.  Equip yourselves with drop tanks and all ordnance possible and jettison everything in the Channel; leave nothing for the Germans.

Ewwww...no online translators,please. Tongue

It would be better to say either:

"Aus Frankreich flüchten" (Escaping France)
or
"Flucht aus Frankreich" (Escape from France)

But please no online translators...my stomach's still hurting.

But great pics. No NMEs around? Wink

Those shots are awsome. Just one question, is that FS9 or a member of the CFS family. I've never seen a P-40 with dropping fueltanks in FS9.

Thanks for the appraisal, guys. Kiss

You know you're having a good day when you fool the civilians into admiring, not only responding, to military shots! Grin

Score one for the home team, woot! Grin

Silent, perhaps it will help your ailment if I said I only used a translator for the first word? I did everything by memory and guessed the der/die/das. Wink

My dictionary's first listing for escape? Flucht. If I would've just gotten up from my chair! Roll Eyes

Typical lazy me. Tongue

So is entweichen "to be escaped"? That's all I can see.

"Entweichen" is a variation of the english "(to) escape".That word ("(to) escape") can be translated in many ways into German.

And why didn't you translate "from" simply with "aus"? Or do you say "Escaping from the France" in English.

I appreciate your effort to learn one of the most complicated language nevertheless. Wink

I put the den in because German so rarely can be directly translated from English. It sounded, too, normal! Thanks for the help tho'! Wink
