Fredo - you're thinking about this too much. As I said earlier, the loss and claim documents are full of these types of errors with names, locations, etc., not to mention the undecipherable handwritten notes/additions. The information that was sent back to the HQ units to be recorded during this time was sent via phone, telex, handwritten reports and whatever. Have you seen some of the handwriting from this time? I remember Tony Woods saying that many of the claims docs he transcribed were from handwritten reports. And for the final transcription they were using typewriters, itself an issue with the fat fingered amongst us. You can't backspace and delete your previous entries. Ya gotta type over them.
