NFCI ( non freezing cold injury)

German translation: Kälteschaden

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase: NFCI ( non freezing cold injury) German translation: Kälteschaden Entered by: BrigitteHilgner

06:32 Jun 18, 2009

English to German translations [PRO] Medical - Military / Defense / injuries / illness
English term or phrase: NFCI ( non freezing cold injury) From a possible court case against the British Ministry of Defence which is being prepared on behalf of soldiers who have suffered from cold related injuries while on active duty. Apparently resulting from poor equipment / clothing as well as mistakes being made by officers / trainers - sending the soldiers out in inclement conditions without suitable protection.The term first came up in the Falkland`s war where soldiers had limbs amputated after suffering too much cold exposure. Is there a suitable German phrase, please?	Peter Downes KudoZ activity Questions: 23 (none open) (1 without valid answers) Answers: 226 Germany Local time: 19:49

Peter Downes Germany ASKER @Brigitte 09:49 Jun 20, 2009  I think "Kälteschaden" with a description of why it occurred would fit the requirements here, my fellow countrymen - and the Americans - keep developing new phrases which do not seem to have a direct translation. Post traumatic stress disorder for example !! Would you like to post your suggestion so I can close the question, please? BrigitteHilgner Austria Falls "Kälteschaden" zu allgemein ist ... 07:07 Jun 18, 2009  bietet vielleicht die folgende Website Anhaltspunkte: www.tk-online.de/rochelexikon/ro17500/r19030.000.htm Automatic update in 00:

Notes to answerer Asker: @Annette, whilst appreciating your references, all very informative, the injuries suffered by the soldiers involved were often caused by being exposed to temperatures around 1 or 2 degrees , for long periods, they were not always wet or immersed in water, the feet were not the only problem areas, some lost the use of their fingers/hands etc. Do you have any other suggestions, please? Asker: Thank you for your suggestion, as proposed I have gone for Kälteschaden although it does not convey the full term I can integrate it in the text.
