    Comment
    LEO already has an entry
    Dictionary: endloesung

    but prompted by this discussion
    related discussion: Endlösung

    I propose the following changes for consideration:

    1) Mark existing entries as "historical/Geschichte"
    2) Indicate that in the English term Final and Solution are often capitalized.
