Talk:LTI – Lingua Tertii Imperii

message: I just compared the English and German versions of "Chapter 1", and there are major differences which actually alter quite considerably what the author wants to say. Perhaps this should be added to the article as a hint. 81.14.208.18 (talk) 14:54, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: lost in translation

message: To me this phrase makes no sense---to be "incommensurable," you need two things being measured.  Would perhaps a better translation be "incalculable?"  Or am I missing an important concept here?  --Woland 17:06, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Concert camp? perhaps something along the lines of "concerted labour camps" was meant. 46.186.37.98 (talk) 02:41, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: No, Konzertlager (lit. concert camp) was a deliberately offensive ("sick joke") euphemism for Konzentrationslager (concentration camp) in NS jargon. That is the reason for its inclusion in the article. -- Picapica (talk) 20:53, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

message: "started to use his diary as a personal exit to his frustrating and miserable life."
thats just outright false. he didnt "start" writing notebook[s] (tagebuch), he has allways been doing so. and to tie it to allegedly being frustrated gives the whole work a spin of being revenge... that is NOT what this book was about. shame on whoever wrote that sentence!... Klemperer talks, in his Vorwort (foreword) about how he used his philology, his work as a scientist researching language (what he was a professor for) as an orientation, as a "balancierstange" (balancing pole) to not allow himself (!) to fall apart under this regime, to keep up his spirits. he worked (-without still being allowed to practice his scholarship-) in his old fashion, now focussing on the language of the propagandamachine, and its influence on everyday speech. That guy is a hero, in keeping his head up; and by doing that he wrote the only book that I personally regard as worthy as being recommended on the subject of "Drittes Reich". - I am german, btw. I dont know the translated version. like others pointed out, it may be full of errors; but I highly doubt that some translator suddenly brought some bitterness ("frustration") into it, that Klemperer did not; he just did not allow himself any frustration. if he had to, he was making bitter jokes, to clean himself of depressing thoughts! - he is a very impressing in doing so, and I have the bad feeling, whoever put that sentence in here, was outright lieing - or not reading the book...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.24.248.254 (talk) 15:59, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
