The problem with understanding what the german's say is probably caused
because the staff person at ID they used to sample the words off couldn't
speak German very well, or at least with a bad accent ;-) hehe.
That also explains why a real German (the exchange student) couldn't understand
it!!!
Btw, personally I think they say: 'Mein Leben' and when they spot you 'Gestapo!'

or more appropriately "watch out." But I sure can't figure out the other
words.

Well, now, according to my Dad, who is by no means a German speaker (His
authority is his father, who has what you might call a filthy mouth on
occasion) im Die Furher Die Hitler says "Die, Allied ________ (I can't
spell it)" and the blank is a german cuss word meaning something like
"pig dog" or something not really offensive to us jaded Americans, and I
think the White dressed Guard also says that word. Are we wrong?

I think in the old, old version of Wolfenstein they said that. I still
have Wolf3d and of course Doom 2, and I don't remember them saying
anything but Gestapo (it sounds to me more like Gustapen - doesn't
something like that mean stop? I took German and now I forgot all of it)
and Mein Leben. In the old Wolfenstein I remember them saying Achtung,
Halt, Kommen Sie, and Asdeis (sp?!). Then they just
screamed when you killed them.

To me it sounds like "Die, allied schwein<something>", but I can
never quite catch the bit when he's dying -- "<something>
Aufwiedersen (sp?)". The white guards (I think they might be Hitler
Youth or something) say something a lot like "Thanks for a while!" :)
I still can't get over the cowardly scream that one of the guards
does -- you know the one, AAAIIEEEEEE! Heh, heh. Eat lead, you
german scum.

That <fill-in-the-blank> would be "Schweinhund", which does,
literally, mean pig-dog. However, there are numerous German insults
based on the word Schwein, and they are, indeed, somewhat offensive
over here.
Oh, I have no idea what is actually being said, though, as I've never
played Wold3D. :) Shame, but I will remedy that some day.

I must have a different version of Wolf3D...
When the brown guards see me, they mumble "Dok-tohr" (I like it. They sound
like the Daleks).
When the fat, blue, SS guy sees me, he says "Doof-popple" (which is what I call
them, as in: "Oh no! Low on ammo, and it's a doof-popple!")
Only the SS guy says "Mein Leben" when he dies; the brown guards go "Ah!"
And the huge guy at the end says "Guten tag [spelling?]".
To link this back to DOOM, who else finds the gargling noise that the Imps make
really unnerving?

This is what most people think. What they are really saying is,
"My name is Ben!"
Listen very carefully next time and see if you agree.
By the way, if you have some audio software that will let you
play it backward, it sounds something like, "Turn me on, dead man."
Wild stuff!!!

I don't know.

: I think what they're saying is: mien lemmen (my life) and the other one,
: I don't know.

I played the old Castle Wolfenstein on my C64...(those were the
days:) They said: Achtung, Halt, Kaput (when they caught you or
killed you) and something like Svichhind (some sort of curse)...

No offense dude, but this IS NOT the wolfenstein forum.
THIS IS THE DOOM FORUM!!!!
Doom: A place where such massacre is everyday life.

But I haven`t the slightest idea what they`re shouting when you enter a
room. That`s bad. Even worse, `cause I'm German.
You see: the Germans nowadays just can`t understand these Nazi-bastards
anymore... (hope so)

Strange, my C64 never said anything.. Just made some sort of noise when I
threw a grenade at those bulletproof dudes...
