Yep, the division has been known as being “from Wienna” even thou there were a lot of non-austrians serving. The book is the 80s edition, written by a veteran officer. Its a very dry and german staff like work, not a lot of armour pictures. There was a ton of books like this written after the war by veteran associations. Most of them are unknown outside of Germany because of the language barrier.

But there are also frankfurter sausages… 
Like JFK’s classic flub, it is in the phrasing to differentiate between a person’s region of origin and an item that has the same name… “ich bin” or “ich bin ein”…

True, but again they are not hot dogs. Americans just like to give weird names to things to make it sound foreign.
For example French Toast and French Fries don’t come from France.
Hamburgers do not come from Hamburg.
Russian Roulette is not Russian.

French Toast is be curious to know the origin of… now I’m curious what fries are called in France- in Germany they are Pommes Frites, in England they are Chips… of course here in the USA they are French Fries, but what are they in France?
