Elite soldier from GERMANY

ARMYRANGER

This specialized commando unit was modeled after British forces and played key roles in WWII covert operations behind enemy lines.

This clue plays on a bit of misdirection by combining two ideas. "Elite soldier from Germany" hints at a German military term, but the answer is actually "ARMYRANGER," breaking down as "ARMY" (military) + "RANGER" (elite soldier). The trick is that "RANGER" sounds like it could be German (like "Jäger"), but it’s an English term, making the answer a clever blend rather than a direct translation.
