Apodos en la Alemania nazi

En este topic pretendo recopilar la mayor información posible sobre los "motes" que se le dieron a los jerarcas nazis:

Joseph Goebbels

- Doktor: El doctor
- Der kleine Doktor: El pequeño doctor.
- Mahatma Propagandhi
- Giftzwerg: El enano envenenador
- Die ratte: La rata
- Der hinkende Teufel: El diablo que cojea (Gregor Straßer)
- Wotan’s Mickey Mouse: El raton Mickey de Wotan (Röhm)
- Mein Doktor: Mi doctor (Hitler)

Se le conocio como el doctor al ser uno de los primeros doctorados en ingresar en el partido, por otro lado sus taras físicas como la cojera o la estatura también fueron fuente de inspiración para que sus enemigos le "rebautizaran" por último su habilidad para la propaganda y el engaño le granjeran calificativos tan curiosos como el Mahatma Propagandhi.

Erich Hartmann

- Buby: El pequeño Chico
- The Blond Knight: El caballero rubio (británicos)
