step-grandfathers

War damit der König auch sein Stiefgroßvater?
Did that make the King of England his step-grandfather?

Aber zu seiner Überraschung bat ihn der Kompaniechef, sich zu setzen, und der joviale Ton, in dem er zu sprechen begann, hätte Alexander beinahe verleitet zu korrigieren: Stiefgroßvater – er hatte Wilhelm nie Großvater genannt, jedoch auch nicht Stiefgroßvater, vielleicht unterließ er es deswegen, den Kompaniechef zu korrigieren, zum Glück: Die Mitteilung des Kompaniechefs lautete, sein Großvater, der Genosse Wilhelm Powileit, liege mit einer schweren Lungenentzündung im Krankenhaus, und sein Zustand sei so ernst, dass Alexander sich auf «das Schlimmste» gefasst machen müsse.
But to his surprise the company commander invited him to sit down, and the jovial tone in which he began speaking almost led Alexander to correct him: step-grandfather—he had never called Wilhelm Grandfather, not even Step-Grandfather, maybe that was why he didn’t set the company commander straight, luckily, because what the company commander had to tell him was that his grandfather, Comrade Wilhelm Powileit, was sick in hospital, a severe case of pneumonia, and he was in such a serious condition that Alexander must be “prepared for the worst.”
