I've got modern books on German that use Werfall etc, alongside the
Nominative, Accusative and such.

 I agree with your friend, it does explain what the cases are doing rather
better than the Latin words.  I didn't even know it was a Nazi thing.

Hoi Paul en Laeglander,

forget the *thesis, made up out of thin air* - whoever brought it in here -,
*about German grown grammatical denominations being from Nazi origin!*

As the first result of my Google search I found:

*Josua Eiselein* (not sounding very Nazi ;-)
Deutsche Sprachlehre Fur Sculen;
Auszug und Umarbeitung Seiner Grammatik nach Jacob Grimm,
*Constanz 1846*

"Werfall: …
Wesfall: …
Wemfall: …
Wenfall: …"

Doei,
joachim
