Talk:Hugo Drax

Untitled
Now, I haven't read the book, but if (Drax) really was a German noble his name ought to read thus: Hugo Graf von der Drache. If transliterated into English it would be Count Hugo von der Drache, but left in German the comital title should be after the given name. Mackensen (talk) 20:14, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)


 * Is that was Graf means/implies/translates to? I have no idea. I copied it out of the novel exactly as shown. Might have been "Americanized", since I have an American print and not the British version. K1Bond007 20:56, Jan 24, 2005 (UTC)


 * Yes. It really ought to be rendered as suggested above. I've no idea how Fleming did it in the original British version, and if he got it "wrong" as well I'm not sure we should correct him. Mackensen (talk) 22:07, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

There are two separate sections for "Henchmen" on this page. Someone should combine them. I've never read the book or seen the film.--PvtDeth 22:03, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Because the henchmen from the novel are not in the film and vice versa. They're both subsections of "Film" or "Novel", so it's fine. K1Bond007 22:08, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing that out, I didn't even notice.--PvtDeth 18:34, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Im unsure, but under the Related Articles section, Ming the Merciless is mentioned. How does this relate to Drax? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.158.193.99 (talk) 22:59, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

In the book (Pan, 3rd printing, 1959, p. 155) Drax says: "I was one of the best shots in the Brandenburg Division." His being in that division is not in this article, nor is the 140th Panzer Regiment (p. 158). Seems wrong. Wammes Waggel (talk) 11:26, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
