I understand some German, but was curious about a more thorough translation. The word "Beute" I recognize as "Trophy" or "Captured" in the context of German reissue of captured vehicles. But Google Translate says, "Beute" is "booty" or "loot". I wonder if this isn't the word origin of that fine old fashioned English word for something taken in battle as a prize?
