Perhaps not

But it certainly helps us to understand why Johannes has not been able to locate more than 35 claims made by him.

What would be much more interesting to know is who first came up with his 143 claims nonsense? When Tanzer died in 1960 few, if any, WW 2 historians had begun to approach the survivors and as far as I know Tanzer never wrote a 1950's style book of self promotion, meaning it feels a bit unlikely to have been himself. But who knows?
