Hello Mr. Tiger -

It looks like we were both wrong.

1) "Lower Saxony (German: Niedersachsen) is a German state situated in northwestern Germany. It was created by the merger of the State of Hanover (Hannover) with Brunswick (Braunschweig), Oldenburg, and Schaumburg-Lippe on 1 November 1946." So it didn't exist during the NS period. All of the locations given in my monograph are during the NS period.

2) The State (Land) it was in during the NS period was Oldenburg. So I was wrong when I wrote Nordrhein-Westfalen.

Cheers,

Larry de Zeng

Thank you for your answer!

Lower Saxony is not really 'wrong' though, this name is used throughout the entire document.

Kind regards,

Timon
