I always considered Ratatoskr is more of a messenger than a devil.  😊 Stewart

Subject: [RenRose] German equivalent of "Devil is in the details" involves a squirrel

Hello,

I had a meeting with some Germans this morning. I am working on a new webshop with lots of details to trip us up.

So I offered up both the English idiom "the devil is in the details" and the Danish equivalent "the beauty is in the details" (Danes are big time complicators).

They told me the closest German equivalent: "the devil is a squirrel’"

Warm Regards, Brian
