Hauksbee 103 Posted October 5, 2014 Watching a YouTube segment on the Luftwaffe, the narrator pronounced Udet's name as 'Oo-day'. Is this correct? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JFM 18 Posted October 7, 2014 No. "Oo-debt." Every single German I know pronounces it that way. And it's pronounced that way in this period propaganda piece: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs5cDYbCXIA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) Yes, it would be spelled as Jim said. The "U" is long like "Oo" in "ooze"; the "det" is like in "cadet". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDlCXZfgOvk Edited October 7, 2014 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
