Before you reply think about the question. Read it carefully. I know about the first and the second Reich. I know why Hitler called it, as we would say the 'The Third Reich.'. What I can't figure out is why we use a English word and then a German word. We don't call it 'Dritte Reich' nor Third Empire. Napoleon III's empire we refer to it as the Second Empire. We don't mix languages. Why on this occasion?
