Term "Gneisenau"

edit

In John Toland_(author)'s 100 Days, a general is mentioned to Hitler who asks, "Is he a Gneisenau?" -- certainly no longer in vogue, it seems like at one point, Gneisenau meant maybe "a very dedicated defender" and perhaps something to this effect should be mentioned in the article.--Jrm2007 (talk) 01:00, 12 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Pronounciation

edit

A guide for that would be helpful; I've always pronounced it with a silent G and the last syllable rhyming with "how", but I have heard it other ways. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Statalyzer (talkcontribs) 22:59, 18 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
