Fritz
Informal for German
Fritz is a German given name, a diminutive of Friedrich.
During the World Wars, Fritz became Anglo-American slang for a German soldier or Germans generally, often with hostile overtones: The Fritz were dug in across the river.
This usage is now dated. (Lowercase fritz appears in the phrase on the fritz.)
