As a soldier who did 2 tours in Iraq, I know first hand how frustrating it can be serving in a nation who's language you don't speak. It also brought up a question about WW II I had never considered. At the height of their conquest, the Germans controlled areas that spoke Dutch, French, Russian, Slavic, Greek, ect. Did they have a policy of employing collaborators for translation (who might be secretly lying to them to help their people), or did they try to train their own guys to speak all of these languages? Just wondering, because it seems like a pretty big problem, especially considering they were administrating the govt. in so many of these places.
