Anyone know what Russian soldiers called Americans during WW2?

Does anyone know why Germans were referred to as Jerries?

>>2263237
Because Americans were always chasing them, and the Germans called Americans "toms"

>>2263239
this

In the UK a jerry is (was) a chamber pot, which is what the German stahlhelm looks like.

And it starts with the same sound as "German".

>>2263237
I always thought it was based on modifying the first syllable of GERmans and just adding -ies at the end.

>>2263260
The Tom & Jerry etymology is definitely false since the term was in use in WW1 too, predating the cartoon by decades.

>>2263197
What did japs call americans?

>>2263260
>which is what the German stahlhelm looks like.
A stahlhelm looks nothing like a chamber pot. Also don't know how common a chamber pot was in 1914 for soldiers to be referencing it. More believable story would be that soldiers in the trenches removed from plumbing used captured stahlhelm's as chamber pots.

It looks pretty similar IMO. More so than other helmets of the period, in any case, the British helmet in particular.

>Also don't know how common a chamber pot was in 1914 for soldiers to be referencing it

Very common. Churchill's Cabinet War Rooms and his bunker apartment had chamber pots even in WW2.

tl;dr: it's like fighting an enemy called Pohtans and calling them Potties. Nothing like a bit of toilet humour.

GI, Doughboy, boys, small fry, "they", Devil

Pretty innocuous which is a little funny considering the names that Americans had for Japs.

Amerikansky

>>2263607
This. There was an account of a POW US paratrooper who escaped from his prison camp and ran into a Soviet armor column, and they just called him the Amerikansky the whole time.

>>2263607
>>2263631
That's just calling them American though. The Slavic -sky marks an adjective.

>>2263644
e.g. Soviet Union = Sovetsky Soyuz

Nah don't buy it. Seems like one of those stupid British stories they came up with to forego researching.

>>2263710
It's just a potential etymology, the true one is unknown.

But the chamber pot connection in general is rock solid. Both the slur and the source word were primarily British (the Americans mostly went Kraut) and in wide use at the time.

>>2263239
That's bullshit, they were called Jerries long before America fought against Germany

>>2263277
WHITU PIGGU!!!!

Landing strips.

>>2263586
Besides "Japs," what names did the Americans have for the Japanese?

>>2263949
'Nips' from Nipon was a big one wasn't it?

>>2263631
They probably called him Americanetz as sky is used to make an adjective

>>2263949
>>2263958
Nips(lots of variants for this, including nippy and nipper), slants, zips (used predominantly in Korea, but has it's roots in WWII), louse, ape, Tojo, Japansy, Yellow Devil

>>2263996
>>2263958
>>2263949
Oh and butterhead

>>2263863
Not to mention the Americans called them Krauts.

It was the Brits who called them Jerries.

>>2264004

That's also a mainly Korean slur

>>2264962
>That's also a mainly Korean slur
No, it isn't. Butterhead is still used as an insult by Marine veterans.

>>2265014
against the Japanese*

>>2263197

Depends on the context.

янки - Sort of thing elderly people might have called them.
Aмepикoc - Most likely. Not polite but probably only backhandedly offensive.
Пиндoc - Epithet. The one users of 1444 Chan would have used

In Latin letters? And meanings, please?

>>2265098
Yankee.
Amerikos - that's more like late 80s- early 00s than WWII era
Pindos - in fact pindos is the word to call the greeks living on the shores of Black Sea. In the XXI century it is used to describe americans.
>>2265049
Stop mixing modern and old words

>>2263949

yellow monkey

>>2265098
janki - Yankee
Amerikos - American, crossed with Pindos
Pindos - doesn't really mean anything, just derogatory word for Americans

These last two words are not really old enough to be used in WW2
