Which is why COTT is asking anyone from Germany or who speaks good German, to please explain to us the word "verficht" in the context in which appears in the 6th minute of "Der Untergang":
We understand that "verfickt" is a curse word in German.
But how did a slight variation of this word wind up on the side of a box being evacuated from the German Chancellory in screenwriter Bernd Eichinger's 2004 biopic masterpiece?
BTW: "Downfall" should be watched and re-watched very couple of seasons. In so many ways it evokes themes that are regularly treated in the ill-ustrious pages of the New York Times.
Why, though, is Cartman saying "Fragile"? :

South Park in German is pretty great.
I remember I first started watching SP in France =- one could almost say that shows such as these are better when dubbed, I shit you not.

If you're referring to the words printed on those boxes in that picture, they are: 'Vorsicht, zerbrechlich!', which means Caution, fragile! In the black-letter or Gothic script of German in the past the letter 's' looks very much like the letter 'f'. The word 'verfickt' is not here at all in that picture, but it's not hard to see the confusion since that letter looks like 'f'.
