Spent more time than I should trying to translate the German in this. It does seem like the words are ‘real’ German – i.e. it doesn’t seem like a version of the Prisencolinensinainciusol joke. But Google translate is really no help when stringing all the worlds together to get the actual meaning of what the woman is saying.
This is also when Briggs was based out of Chicago, and an era (the very end of it) where as many as one in 3 people in the midwest had German ancestry and maybe one in six in the region still spoke German fluently and regularly.Report
