What is achtung meaning?

"Achtung" is a German word that is commonly understood to mean "Attention" in English. It is often used as a warning or command to get someone's attention, whether in individual or group settings. The word is also closely associated with the Nazis and World War II due to its frequent use in propaganda and military orders. However, today it is widely used in everyday language in German-speaking countries as a simple call for alertness or concentration.
