Translation error "wild boar"
"Wilde Sau" does not mean/translate to "wild boar" but "wild sow". "Wild boar" would be "Wilder Eber". Sow certainly doesn’t sound anywhere as martial, but that’s how it is. Koo Kee (talk) 11:22, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Once again: Translation of "Wilde Sau"
It is correct that "Wilde Sau" literally translates as "wild sow". However, what was implied by the term was in my opinion that the fighter pilots should behave like "marauding (wild) swine". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Angeliter007 (talk • contribs) 09:30, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Wild Sau/Wild Boar, yet again
I’ve clarified he lead, here: regardless of the literal meaning, the tactic was generally known in English as "Wild Boar", not "Wild Sow". I don’t know for sure why this was; maybe (as mentioned above) they didn't think wild sow was aggressive enough, or maybe (also above) it's what Hermann actually had in mind: OTOH maybe the Germans chose the term because wilder eber was too much of a mouthful. Whatever, "Wild Boar" is the name given to it in English, so it isn’t a translation error (because it isn't a translation). I'm saying this in case anyone has the urge to 'correct' it. I trust everyone is OK with that. Xyl 54 (talk) 22:59, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
