Re: OberFuhrer, the Hobourg Special Hero!!!
Just a small correction...

Look, oberfuhrer itself is an actual German word for an army rank

Is not entirely correct. This rank, together with others like "Feldmarschall" (think Rommel), were abandoned after WW2. So, yes, as a German, I can say that the term "Oberführer" immediately rises associations with Nazi Germany.
On the other hand, I play WW2 flightsims with historical correct markings (even if it's illegal...), so I'm not offended by this. I can however understand, how other people can be.
So just accept the remark, that it is a poor choice for a unit name, and maybe consider leaving it out in Dom3.
