Hauksbee Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Watching a YouTube segment on the Luftwaffe, the narrator pronounced Udet's name as 'Oo-day'. Is this correct?
JFM Posted October 7, 2014 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
+Olham Posted October 7, 2014 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
