Re: Hptm. Karl Neumaier JG 7 + 21.04.1945

Hmmm.................

I have notified Doug on this to see if he has any recollections concerning our two NEUMAIER entries and the absence of a NEUMAR entry. All it takes is a single misspelling in an original document, or later on by researchers and/or authors and the error gets perpetuated into eternity! I think our NEUMAIER entries come from two separate sources, so this is indeed odd. Notice in the Manfred Boehme list given above how the first name is missing from NEUMAR yet the first names are given for the others in the list. This raises questions as to where Boehme got the name and that it may have been from someone's postwar recollections and not from a document. The name NEUMAR almost seems to be a phonetic reproduction from soneone's memory.
