How can someone say "final solution" with a thick German accent? I'm German myself and when I try to pronounce it with deliberately thick accent, it doesn't change all that much.

I'd guess something like 'ze final zolution'. With the second z a lot less pronounced than the first. Mostly the pronunciation of 'the' by Germans is easy to notice.

The most obvious giveaways are pronouncing "the" like "s" and "w" like "v". Also, consonants in general are pronounced too hard, making the pronunciation less "flowing".
