@Buidhe: That's fine with me, thank you. I originally thought that we should use the original German "Soldaten sind Mörder" for the page title, as it was this exact quote in German that was the subject of all these court cases and controversies (not a translation), but if there are enough English sources for the translation, that's probably the right approach for English-language Wikipedia. It's also comparable to some other translated German phrases in Category:German words and phrases, such as Desk murderer... although I'm not sure that this translation of Schreibtischtäter is sourced well enough, as the German word "Täter" doesn't mean "murderer" but more general "perpetrator, "wrongdoer" or, literally, "someone who did something", but I digress.
