Führer

Führer (Fuehrer when the ü-umlaut is not used, but never Fuhrer) is a noun meaning "leader" in the German language. It is mainly used in English as the term for Nazi Germany's ruler Adolf Hitler. Though the word remains common in German, it does come with some social stigma attached (though not when used as meaning guide), and under Hitler was part of the title of many positions in the various (para)military and governmental organizations of Germany.
