For many years all my history books were in English.
But this year I've also read a book in Norwegian and one in Danish. And now I'm trying to order one in Swedish. All for the GNW. The norwegian one was easy enough. Even tho I'm infenantly more familiar with English military terms. The Danish is slightly more problematic my dyslexia definitely starts rearing it's head. But at least the Danish and Norwegian military parlance is more or less the same. The Swedish one will be somewhat tricky. Understanding spoken Swedish is easy. Reading it slightly more tiresome. And Swedish military parlance is strange. Like the swedish word for soldier during GNW is knekt. And for me knekt is the Norwegian word for Jack from a deck of card. And so I imagine lots of playing marching around.
