My own personal babelfish hasn't been used much in the last 20 years, but try the new one, even it has trouble understanding him.

Put in:
Guten tag. Ich sehe du sprechst Deutsch! Das ist gut fur du!
Dieser warenbestand macht eine narr von du. Warum nich gefallst mir order alles Deutsche? Gebst der kreig, ist kaput!"

It says:
Good day. I see you sprechst German! That is good fur you! This inventory makes fool of you. Why nich me does order all German gefallst? Gebst that kreig, is kaput!

'Krieg' is war, so if he meant "Gebst du, das Krieg ist kaput" he'd be saying "Give up, the war is over" which is in turn an error of a different sort.
