Zoals de Geallieerden de Duitsers 'moffen' noemden. Welke naam/namen werden andersom gebruikt?
The common nicknames are as follows: 1. Russian soldiers were commonly called Ivan; 2. British soldiers were called tommies and British Paratroopers were also referred to as Red Devils; and 3. American soldiers were called yanks. American Paratroopers were called Devils in Baggy Pants, and numerous other nicknames were used. The Bloody Bucket soldiers was a nickname the Germans gave to the 28th Infantry Division soldiers out of respect(red shoulder patch resembling a bucket).
Answer
There's a term the Germans used a lot to refer to the "Americans" that wasn't mentioned "Ami", pl. "Amis". The Germans were called "Krauts", "Jerries", "Huns"; the French called them "Les Boches" And in Russia "Gans" (Hans, as there's no "H" in russian), or "Fritz".
