And, by the way: The German word for lightning is Blitz, not "Blitzen".
Why
do so many Englisch speakers insist on attaching the "en"? "Blitz" as

in this context is a noun, not a verb.
It's probably the fault of Santa Claus.
Two of his reindeer are named Donner and Blitzen.
...or the war comics where it is compulsory for the German troops to say
"Ach, Donner und Blitzen" whenever they are attacked by the "Tommies".
I always thought Flash/Thunder was the US watchword during D-Day...
PS: As long as the "ach" is pronounced the Scottish way and does not
resemble "ack", that's fine by me
