Re: 10 September 1944

Hi Larry,

it seems to me someone has written the way he heard it without knowing how to write it correctly.
Possible is "Rheinböllen" - spoken it sounds (a little bit) close to Meinbullen.
Here in germany I never heard such a name, even not if it´s a a onehorse-town.
May´ someone here knows this place and I can learn something more about my country

Ok - I´ve found something with the same typo and it seems it tells the same story :

There´s a river in germany called "Main". Even this river has nothing together with Bullen.

Best regards from germany,

Rainer
