Well, no. Fuer immediately pushes the tense into the accusative, making "der Kaiser" which is masculine(=der, the only nominative possibility) den. As the masculine accusative is "den" not "die" which is feminine, or "der" which is nominative.

Well, seeing as it's usually a chant for war and will be the last thing most of the men will ever say other than 'Raaaaaaarrggghhh!!' I don't think they'll stop in the middle of no-mans land and discuss the sexual orientation of their language.  ;) xD

Well they wouldn't have to, as they'd know it is, "Fuer den Kaiser". Germans don't go around mislabeling things in their own language, we aren't going to go and call a bloody table, a cat...unless you're high.

It's actually 'Für Den Kaiser' if you want to be grammatically correct writing in german, with the umlaut. You said so yourself previously.

You are correct, but an umlaut can also be written as an "oe", "ue", "ae", etc. Seeing as I am both not German and too lazy to go get an umlaut, "fuer" is perfectly correct as it means the same thing.

8th Battalion East Surrey Regiment - Mc_OWn3d
Anyone under command of this man, I know him to be a great man. Good luck 8th Battalion, Mc_OWn3d, we must do some more WWI Source trainings, I think I should educate you a little in the art of leading :P
The 8th is not dead! Proud Colonel of the WWI and Blood and Iron/Verdun regiment 84th Infantrie d'regiment [both are recruiting. Add calicoyoda on Steam if you want to join either]

Technically that should be the regiment I join, as I'm a Surrey-man, but Stormtroopers with helmets and gas masks and 'nades are just so cool.  ;D
