Führer

Führer is a proper noun meaning "leader" or "guide" in the German language on Earth. The word Führer is most often associated with Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party, which had come to power during the 20th century, and who were ultimately defeated during the Second World War.

The word Führer was first used in connection with Hitler and the Nazi party after the Nazis seized control of the German government, especially after the death of German President Paul von Hindenburg. After their defeat in World War II, the word became unpopular due to its connection to Nazi Germany.

Centuries later, when Federation historian John Gill attempted to institute a more benign Nazi government on Ekos, he named himself the Führer of the Ekosian state.
