first of all, it's Fuchs, and not Fuch. it is the German word for fox. the word is pronounced "fukks" with the 'u' having the same sound as 'oo' such as in good or wood, but with a shorter duration. very simple actually

in this case, the 'ch' sound is not pronounced similar to 'sh' (as in *****) but is more pronounced as the 'ch' in achtung. however, over time the common pronunciation changed the 'ch' sound to 'kk'
