Question
editHow did Charles Edward get to the United States for the reported visit in 1940? The war had broken out in 1939 and I can't imagine the British allowing German officials free passage across the Atlantic. -Ad Orientem (talk) 02:39, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Ad Orientem 41.122.8.249 (talk) 04:37, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Ad Orientem He went east through Russia (which wasn't at war with Germany at the time). Llewee (talk) 13:09, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Llewee Ah that makes sense. Thanks for the reply. -Ad Orientem (talk) 13:24, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Ad Orientem Actually, Germany and Russia were allies at that point of time. Creuzbourg (talk) 20:47, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Charles Edward, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha
editWhy use the name he never used as an adult? Creuzbourg (talk) 20:49, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Creuzbourg, historic royals names are often translated into English (even if they had no connection to an English-speaking country) and this duke is usually referred to as Charles Edward in English language sources. He also seems to have used "Charles Edward" in English in later life. He is quoted doing so at the end of the "trial and final years" section. Llewee (talk) 22:15, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Llewee I think you are right about the translation into English (and other languages).Creuzbourg (talk) 22:19, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
