Codename Allfather auf Deutche?
« on: 08 June 2007, 06:59:32 PM »
Does anyone have a suggestion for what the phrase "Codename: Allfather" would be in German? "Allfather" in this instance is meant to refer to Odin.

TIA

"Allvater" (literal) or maybe "Göttervater" (= father of the gods), since "Allvater" refers, afaik, first and foremost to the (christian) Lord.

And "Codename" is the the same in German.  :wink:

Which might be appropriate for a group of pagan, occultists :-)

Yes, but it's more used in a modern context.

For the right teutonic and WWWII feeling "Deckname" (as an alias for a secret agent) might be more suitable or for a military operation something like "Unternehmen" or "Operation".
