Geil Gitler?

Don't forget the well known Dr. Gerbils... I mean Dr. Gebels - Bill

I believe there is no 'H' sound in the Russian language, so the 'Gitler' name was used during the period.

erich,

I didn't know that but its true.Do a goggle search and see all the russian sites using gitler.

as Erich mentions:

"For instance, in Russian there is no H sound, but it is an understood thing that with foreign words containing H, the Russian
sound used instead is G, so they talk for instance of Adolf Gitler.
The two sounds are not very similar, and in German there is no link between H and G, but that is the standard treatment (or used to be until recently)."
