Ouch, that is a thread resurrected from the dead !!

Thanks for the people who replied to it.

As for the discrepencies between Tony Wood lists and Prien books, there are several explanations, but the simplest way to say that is that Tony was the first to tackle it, was more or less alone, and most important, was using a source that was not 100% readable and that lists only family names. So some of the names were just guesses by Tony. At the time I and others sent him mails to correct or complete names as we were able to use other sources.

Then Mr Prien and co work is now using far more sources, and able to decypher more names by using other reports and so on.

On the other hand, when you compare a free Internet ressource and a rather expensive series of books, one may think that the second will be more reliable. And it is.
