The other thing that irritated me was the inconsistent pronunciation of German names.
I know we British are supposed to be poor at speaking foreign so we had Mohne rather than Möhne but at least the "e" was sounded where it wasn't in the German gunner's name Schütte. As for Eder we have a couple of ways of pronouncing the "Ed" bit as per Edward or Eden and they used the latter where the former would be correct. If they'd wanted the pronunciation used, it would have been called the Ider Talsperre
