Danke!
Und das klingt auch nicht kommunistisch?
Hatte Bedenken, den Begriff zu verwenden...

In US army - not comrade.
'Buddy' is a possiblitiy but only amonst lower ranks and with out name: "Hey buddy, pass the amo!"
"Soldier" when an officer address a soldier without using a name: "Soldier, button up your shirt!"
Otherwise itss rank and name.

agree with Alan; never "comrade" in the British Army either.
Mate (UK) = Buddy (US)
Otherwise rank and name.

fellow soldier

@catwings: Das dürfte aber als Anrede kaum geeignet sein - und danach wurde hier gefragt.

"Hey, fellow soldier Pinkerton, pass me the gun, will ya!" klingt irgendwie nicht.

;-)

In the AF, at least, often heard my Dad use the respective rank + last name, when relating something of import to another soldier. If they were just talking amongst themselves, then it was: Bill, John, James, etc said....

Im britischen Film Dog Soldiers sprechen sich die Soldaten gegenseitig immer mit "mate" an, und der Lebensgefährte einet Bekannten von mir redet auch immer von den "mates", wenn er von seiner Zeit in der britischen Armee erzählt. Das würde ja zu dem hier bereits erwähnten "buddy" im amerikanischen Sprachgebrauch passen. Kamerad wird im Deutschen, jetzt vielleicht nicht mehr so zeitgemäß, ja auch hin und wieder als Synonym für Kumpel benutzt.

"mate" ist in BE allerdings mitnichten auf die Armee beschränkt, sondern die alltägliche Standardanrede für Freunde, Bekannte und Wildfremde.

1) A soldier seeing another (not personally konwn) soldier say on the other side of the street would call that one a fellow soldier OR fellow serviceman/woman
2) A soldier speaking about another soldier of similar rank from the same company would not automatically call that one "buddy", may be "we're in the same outfit" or the like
3) "Buddy" is used
- when there is a friendly relationship
- if there is a duty related partnership e.g. when there is a mass drop of paratroopers there are two jump masters on each aircraft, those two are "buddies" - officially in that everybody uses this term even in written regulations
- when a combat situation forges two or three together to hold a particular position, those are "buddies"
- teams of say 10, 12 operating behind enemy lines are "buddies"- officially in that everybody uses this term even in written regulations

I'd suggest to Jule to consider my comment 1) above and alter it to say fellow sergeants/officers if sergeants/officers only are involved.

Geht comrade wirklich nicht? Wenn man zum Beispiel über ein paar Soldaten in einer Geschichte schreibt und man wollte sagen: "Sie brannten die Stadt aus Rache für ihren erschossenen Kameraden nieder." Da kann man doch schlecht Buddy sagen...
Irgendwelche Ideen?

@felixa

In deimem fall waere "fallen comrade" sicher angebracht.

Danke!

wie is das mit companion?

Ich würde gerne die Diskussion wiederbeleben...
Geht "companion" in diesem Kontext?
Und wann genau ist "comrade" ok und wann nicht? Nur wenn noch ein Adjektiv dabei steht, das klarstellt, dass es nicht um die kommunistische Bedeutung von "comrade" geht?

Im britischen Englisch spricht man auch von "fellow soldier"

in this man's army.

the context given was: "Kamerad Müller hat gesagt, dass..."

in this case the rank must be used, eg., "private/corporal/sargeant Muller said..." - there is no other acceptable title to use in addressing a soldier by his name, as far as i know.

"comrade" would never be used, because of its association with communism. before the dissolution of the USSR, it would have been a strong insult, implying the soldier was a traitor to his country, and sympathized with the enemy. one exception however, is the term "fallen comrades", which does not carry an association with communism.

although soldiers may talk about "fellow soldiers", it would never be used as a title to address someone, as in "fellow soldier Muller said..."

as well, the following are plainly incorrect:

"soldier Muller said..."
"buddy Muller said..."
"companion Muller said..."
"mate Muller said..."

On the US Air Base I work on, especially in the enlisted ranks they would just use the last name ("Mueller") and do so without any of the usual associations of coldness or distance that go with a using a last name by itself. Even enlisted folks who know each other well refer to each other by their last name and call each other by it as well. Officers would be more likely to put a rank before the last name but don't do so invariably, especially from 01 to 03.

Richard, what does that mean: "from 01 to 03"?

The only other time comrade works is in the phrase "comrade(s) in arms". It is fairly literary, though.
