What is the correct pronunciation of the surname of the US consul
general to Germany, "Bodde"?

Hi,
The correct pronunciation of "Bodde" is: Bow-Dee ('bow' as in bow-tie).
This was confirmed with a brief telephone call to the US Consul
switchboard in Frankfurt, Germany:


Tel: +49-69-7535-2100 between 2 and 4 pm
