German term

objektives Ausmaß

German to English Art/Literary Cinema, Film, TV, Drama Music composed by Windt for Olympia film

Dispositionspotential - aus militärtaktischen, politischen und sozialgeschichtlichen Gründen - größer geworden war als die Manipulationsrealität. Die Reaktion jedes
einzelnen Soldaten in der existenziellen Gefährdung des Kampfes erwuchs aus der unbewußten Differenz zwischen Manipulation durch die Vorgesetzten (deren
objektives Ausmaß auch von der je eigenen politischen Überzeugung abhing) und dem Dispositionspotential.
Proposed translations (English)
