Nice one, Andreas!

Begriff nicht, dass Sie indischen Sommer in Deutschland hatten. Or, Hat nicht erkannt, dass Sie Altweibersommer in Deutschland gehabt haben.
Two radically different translations, of the same phrase-Didn't realize you had Indian Summer in Germany. Which is more correct?

Indian Summer

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Summer.
The name "Indian summer" was only a description of the fantastic colours of the autumn leaves. However, the wheather was also very good and warm. You have right that it was not "summer" like a season. But wikipedia tells us that the early autumn is also correct.
