Re: Luftwaffe Officer Summaries for 2023

indeed! On p88, his name having presumably been corrected on the document you've quoted from, his subsequent interrogation in the UK. Thanks!

When in doubt, I recommend checking names on the Diffusion des Nachnamen (distribution of surnames) map at https://www.kartezumnamen.eu

Trying the alternatives, there's a nil return for the name Zantropp but 58 instances of Zantopp.

Hi Nick,

That's an interesting and useful resource -- thanks for posting the link.

FWIW, there are no people in Germany nowadays with "Hitler" as their surname (no surprise!), but there are very many occurrences of "Göring" and "Himmler"...

Best wishes for 2025,
Leon Venter
