Re: German raider boasts of machine-gunning English women?
With respect to post # 9 - you are absolutely right, his name was Hubert Greim without the "von" in his father's name. The reason for this was that his family was not part of the nobility so that they would have had the "von" by birth. Instead father Greim was bestowed with the lowest degree of nobility - Ritter von = knight of - for his exploits as a pilot in WWI, which could not be passed on and inherited by his son, who therefore was born as just Hubert Greim.
Sorry for my mistake.
