vs Köln (1)

‘…This probably won’t work, will it?’

I have some sense, too. Using this would be a surefire way to get beaten up by Union Berlin fans.

Of course, that was a shame.

What's more, Union Berlin also had its own connection to the word “Stalin.”

The slogan that symbolizes Union Berlin was Eisern, and Stalin’s name also came from stál (сталь), which means steel.

‘…Anyway, it’s the mustached bastards who are the problem. They use all the good names themselves and leave nothing for the next generation.’

For reference, Adolf was also originally a good name meaning “noble wolf.”

‘But we can’t use it now, can we?’

Strictly speaking, it isn’t legally banned, but it’s a name people avoid. It’s because it immediately brings Hitler to mind...
