Other words are adopted completely from the German language, such as "Kindergarten", "Rucksack" or "Apfelstrudel", and of course the words that the soldiers of WWI and WWII brought back to their (English-speaking) home countries. (I hope sometime someone might have a certain number to give the correct answer)
