"Lenzmond" (literally "spring month" or "Lent month"). I know the
Nazis renamed months (amongst other things such as human beings) so I

According to http://members.tripod.com/Stemweder/terminology.htm
Lenzmond is another name for March [the webpage lists German terms
likely to be of help for English speakers researching German
genealogy].
