Servus, Grüezi und Hallo! Welcome everybody to a little German/Austrian/Swiss pendant to our very beloved bible „DeathList Top 50“ and to its equivalents of the French, the Canadian and the Australian/New Zeelandian DeathList, created by forum users. We, the German forum fellas frleon, gcreptile, Prophet, TomTomTelekom, WEP and Book, created a list of 50 German, Austrian or Swiss people (from the so-called D-A-CH-countries*) of who we think that 2021 could be their final year. *By the way, D-A-CH means D = Deutschland (Germany) A = Österreich (Austria) CH = Schweiz (Switzerland) „Dach“ is the German expression for „roof“. First we collected several names which came to our mind, also of people who were born in the German speaking countries or later became a citizen of that countries. Then everyone selected 50 names and put them in order 1 to 50. First place = 50 points, last place = 1 point. At the end I added up all the points and the result was the German DeathList, now called The D-A-CH-DeathList. I'm sure you'll find some surprise inclusions but also some “obvious misses!” Every obit in the German language is accepted, because dead means dead Maybe this thread could also be used for German deaths generally, like the ones for the Danes or the Slavs or the famous Belgians. So, to cut a long story short: In the next post are the 50 German, Austrian and Swiss people of our very first D-A-CH-List 2021! Thank you for your attention. Enjoy!

I'm really sorry... but a "No" at this very moment. For me the game has just worn out a bit. Maybe a KoS about a singer or a band would be something new and a little more interesting.

D-A-CH-Hit No.6 ist Eckart Dux, a very well-known German TV and theatre actor and especially voice actor, who died on April 9th at the age of 97. He has been one of the longest active German-speaking voice actors, dubbing US movies and series into German, e.g. Anthony Perkins in Psycho, George Peppard in The A-Team, Jerry Stiller in King of Queens or Ian McKellen as Gandalf. There is no official press release yet, it is probably too early in the morning. Now everyone is awake: https://www.stern.de/gesellschaft/regional/niedersachsen-bremen/fernsehen--synchronsprecher-eckart-dux-gestorben-34618828.html
