Das TeufelsAlpdrcken Fhnlein translates to “The Devil’s Nightmare Regiment”. In colloquial Old German, Fhnlein translates to company, or regiment. Literally “little flag”, it refers to the banners that represented each unit in a larger army. Our name comes from an old expression “the lansquenet (sic) thrown out of paradise cannot enter in to Hell, for he would make the Devil afraid”.
