The Boys What Stormfront Says In German In The Season 2 Finale

Warning: The following contains SPOILERS for The Boys season 2 finale.

One aspect of The Boys season 2 finale left many fans confused; the final words Stormfront spoke in German during her final scene in the episode. The superpowered Nazi lapsed into her native tongue, delivering dialogue that was largely incomprehensible to those viewers that did not possess incredibly sharp hearing and understand German.

One of the more shocking revelations of The Boys season 2 was that Stormfront, a popular young heroine recently recruited to The Seven, was not what she seemed to be on multiple levels. The team discovered early on in season 2 that Stromfront was a racist, who went out of her way to kill innocent non-white civilians while chasing down an alleged supervillain terrorist. Later, the team learned that she was also incredibly long-lived, having once fought crime under the codename Liberty several decades earlier. She was ultimately revealed to be older still, having been married to Dr. Frederick Vought; the Nazi scientist who created the Compound-V formula that gives people superpowers.

The Boys’ season 2 finale found the team facing off against Stormfront, during an attempt to save Becca Butcher’s son, Ryan, from the cabin where he was being kept by Stormfront and Homelander. The confrontation ultimately ended with the two superheroes separated and Stormfront dazed and confused, barely able to speak and muttering to herself in German. She became somewhat more animated when Homelander found her but was still speaking in largely unintelligible German, with one phrase, “Schatten eines Apfelbaum” or “shade of an apple tree” being repeated twice.

Reddit user Raidoton helpfully transcribed and translated the full text of Stormfront’s dialogue, revealing that Stormfront was recalling a beautiful moment with her husband and daughter, as they sat in the shade of an apple tree. When Homelander arrived, she apparently saw him as her husband and said, “Do you remember the day Frederick? Chloe’s arms out of the car window. We found the perfect spot by the river, in the shade of an apple tree. It was the first time Chloe ate fresh apples.” Later, she muttered to herself, “It was so wonderful. I wanted it to never end.” It might have been a sweet, sad moment, if you ignored that the memory was coming from a woman trying to start a race war with an army of superhuman soldiers.

There is another point worth noting regarding that the phrase “shade of an apple tree,” which stands out in Stormfront’s dialogue. “In The Shade of the Old Apple Tree” was the title of a popular love song written in 1905, co-written by German-American composer Egbert Van Alstyne. However, the song is mostly remembered today as a standard of African American jazz musicians like Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong; something sure to annoy a long-lived Nazi. While this may be a coincidence, it would not be the most obscure reference that The Boys has dropped and it would serve as an interesting counterpoint to Hughie Campbell’s obsession with Billy Joel.
