Re: Bueligens P-38 kills, disputed
Having worked in the USA for a German owned and managed company , the German expatriate with an "ü" in his name used the "ue" in all English documents and correspondence while he lived here. That was his choice as he was the boss. For that reason, it might not seem improper to use the anglicized version in what is an English language board and please, don't shout Artur, it hurts my PC ears.
Best Regards, Artie Bob (aka. Arthur-Artur when in Deutschland or Österreich)

Buehligen or Bühligen, not Bueligen
Hi Artie Bob,
I believe it was the missing 'h' in 'Bueligen' that got Artur's goat. Leon Venter

Re: Bueligens P-38 kills, disputed
There is a difference between 'Bühligen' and 'Bueligens'. That's what probably pissed off 'Artur PK', i.e., the repeated usage of the misspelled name even after the proper spelling was pointed out.
I am looking forward to the replies related to his apparent overclaimings.

Re: Bueligens P-38 kills, disputed
One site had it spelled like this.. Doubt the 'n' belongs there.

Re: Bueligens P-38 kills, disputed
As a side comment, even some germans favor the oe over ö spelling, for instance WW 1 Ace Oswald Boelcke. I've read in Boelcke's biography (J. Werner) that this is, or at least was, something of a personal preference.
Buehlingen or Bühlingen is the same.

Re: Bueligens P-38 kills, disputed
Didn't the US records have some gaps for the period?
