On a more morbid note, there was a man in my college town who was a leader
of the international NeoNazi movement ('til he got arrested during a trip to
Denmark on German anti-propaganda laws).  He was born American, but he
changed his name to match its German translation, and took on an affected
German accent.  It would have seemed pretty silly to me if it wasn't for
what he said with that accent ...
