MäcØSŸ,

Downloaded, watched, and got very much impressed.

Thank you very much. The thanks is not only from myself but also many other viewers from Mainland China, I believe.

I know it might be a bit off topic but I was fascinated by it: In one of the first books I read on translation Paul Schmidt who was Hitler's interpreter was mentioned and I began to research him. What was interesting was that Schmidt was actually let back into the fold so to speak, and became involved in interpreting in Germany after the war...


Schmidt was a prisoner at Nuremberg, as he was thought to be a lower-level war criminal by virtue of interpreting for Hitler, but he was later released. According to a book about the trials by Joseph Persico, he was drafted in to help with document translation, as they were falling badly behind with this massive work during the trial. A bit irregular, given Schmidt's status. According to Persico, Schmidt would take trial documents and quickly dictate the translation of them to a stenographer.

Simultaneous interpreting got its start at Nuremberg. I have no desire to get into the war on a language discussion list but the narrow details of how it all started are quite relevant.

Anyway, the war helped trigger off a lot of subsequent events, like the space age. Space rockets are direct descendants of the German V-2 rocket.
