Yes, the title of Hitler's blueprint for genocide and world domination, Mein Kamph, translates to My Struggle, and muslims say jihad is their personal struggle. Funny how Hitler used muslim style rhetoric and also blamed the Jews for his own people's self-inflicted problems. Now Ahmadinijad wants to destroy Israel. Now Hitler wears a turban.
Wake up and smell the jihad !

According to babelfish, a common language translator, jihad is still jihad in German. The reason for this being that jihad is an Arabic word, thus unchanged regardless the language in which it is used.
The literal translation of the word means to "struggle", notably to "struggle in the way of God" or "to struggle to improve one's self and/or society. It is sometimes referred to as the sixth pillar of Islam, although it occupies no official status as such. Within Islamic jurisprudence, jihad is usually taken to mean military exertion against non-Muslim combatants but there are other ways to perform jihad as well. In broader usage and interpretation, the term has accrued both violent and non-violent meanings. It can imply striving to live a moral and virtuous life, spreading and defending Islam, and fighting injustice and oppression, among other things. In the languages of non-islamic cultures, the term is usually used to refer to Muslim 'Holy War' or any violent strife invoking Allah.
If you would choose to translate struggle to German, it would be "kampf", just as you suspected.

Jihad, as it is a term lifted from another language, so it is kept.
