GROMSKO - A Pronunciation Guide
Suave Sobiesław (It rhymes. Get it?)
Sobiesław - Soa - Beh- swav
O like Oat. ł is a W like Web. W is pronounced as a V sound.
Kosciuszko - KOSh-CHews-skO
Kos like Gossip.
C iu-s like Check and Useless with a partially voiced S/Z.
Sko like Go.
Notes:
Voiced and unvoiced referring to how involved your vocal cords are. A good way to understand this is try switching between F - V and S - Z. V in many central and eastern European countries sometimes sounds like a 'voiced F' . (I will not be making an accent/speech guide as I have for König as I don't speak Polish and feel it's not my place. If you are Polish and have any feedback or would like to help me work on such a post feel free to reach out.)
"ZA HONOR I OJCZYZNĘ!"
Now go, be free, have fun with everybody's favourite beefy Polak.

König - Canon
Height, Age, Rank and Affiliation in Canon
Tumblr media
Assumptions based on available or previously available in-game sources;
Previous Affiliations König was originally listed as a German Citizen and a member of the KSK. (German Special Forces - Commandos). This was then changed to match his uniform's flag and he was listed as an Austrian Citizen and a member of the Jagdkommandos. (Austrian Special Forces - Commandos). This was then changed again to remove all mention of real world affiliations. Though as it's been previously stated It's reasonable to assume he's ex-Jagdkommandos as he was an Austrian Insertion Specialist working in Counter Terrorist operations. Side Note - In the Beta König was originally a SpecGru Operator.
Height; While there is no confirmed canon height for könig yet we can make some educated assumptions. He's too tall to be a sniper. Ghost is a sniper (his only confirmed height being 6'2 1/2") so he is likely taller than 6'3". Average height for Central/Eastern European men is 5'10"** we could reasonably assume being described as "the size of a mountain" before the age of 17 would imply he is noticeably taller. I would guess anywhere from 6'4" to 6'10".*
Know that the taller you go the more health problems and inconveniences you find, I would try and keep it reasonable as being over 7ft would incur too many health risk and would probably not pass medical admission. *As much as I dissuade using TikTok - LeeThe4th is a good example of this kind of height. **A local anecdote "I think 6'1" is pretty average personally. 6'4"+ people are not an uncommon sight here"
Age and Rank;
König's rank as a colonel comes from one of two loading screens: Bad Brothers and Bad Brothers 5: Colonel König. Given the gap I'd assume it's more for the sake of parody instead of lore. (Parodying films like 'Brothers', 'Saving Private Ryan' and 'Dirty Dozen' ect) Colonel may have been chosen for the sake of alliteration - I wouldn't discount it but I'm not wholly convinced.
The Loading Screen in question -
Tumblr media
If he is a Colonel we can make a few assumptions about his age: General online consensus seems to be that it takes around 20-25 years of service to reach the rank of colonel. However, exceptional officers may be promoted more quickly and promotion to colonel requires a combination of experience, education, and leadership skills. "Officers must also pass a promotion board and meet specific eligibility requirements."
If we want to get country specific:
German Bundeswehr: "- promotion requires a minimum of 17 years of officer's service, i.e. 20 years of service overall"
Austria: Though I can't find a precise number I would assume it's closer to Germany's. He joined at 17 that puts him at 34/37+ which does line up well with other in-game operators.
As a Colonel some of his responsibilities and skills would be; Regiment commander, Brigade commander, field experience, highly educated (Referring to in army training, not standard education) , and strong leadership skills.
TL-DR: Height; 6'4" - 6'10" Age; 34-37+ Rank; Colonel Previous Affiliations; German or Austrian Special Forces Commando

König - Canon
Speech and Accent in Canon
Tumblr media
A quick note to start off; as König speaks a Standard High German in game I will be focusing primarily on that. ( For further context on why German sounds the way it does I may make a future post about German and Austrian Speech with some examples and context - I will link it when I do.) Just know the German alphabet is pronounced slightly differently than English and varies from dialect to dialect.
Lets start with the most important - König (kö·nich)
Ö - being pronounced somewhere between spoon and flute.
Ch - being similar an extended h- .
Know that peoples accents will vary depending on their proficiency and origins. From his voice lines his accent and phonetics -
His English is clear on his D and W. I know that D = Z/S and W = V are common confusions for some German-English speakers and I understand that they're an easier way to convey such an accent in writing but they don't apply here.
Notable accent quirks he does exhibit are;
Over annunciation of H like in "veHicle'
"DZ Marked" - 'Dae Zet Markt' - this should only come up when pronouncing these letters individually.
The German R is pronounced as a trill made at the back of the throat and he does this often.
Occasionally he will drop and -er to a lighter -ah and a th- to a more natural d-.
"Giergah Here" - " Enemies in die AO"
He does frequently use short/voiceless endings where words ending in D/ED get dropped short and sound closer to a T.
"Enemy Downt" - "Enemy Markt"
Though he does not seem to do this for voiced S endings: EYES = ICE.
Contractions (words like "We're" and "It's") are just as common in German as in English but do not have any common forms for "I am" or "it is" and this usually will carry over to English where some German speakers will not use "I'm" or "it's"
König does use 'is' contractions like "the door's jammed".
He switches between "I'll take the armour" "I Will take the key-card" in casual language so either works.
Any other German Dialect speakers feel free to contribute or reach out to me if you have any insight or would like me to add or adjust anything. I would also love to hear your insight and experiences for a German - Austrian Language and Culture post I've been working on.
