Let me confirm that Hal Oele and MT are not the same person. I know them both quite well. It seems to be unbelievable, but there is indeed more than one guy in Germany being able to detect faulty notes in diaries, letters and books, written by the old heroes years after their engagment.
Do you need another example? Here you are: The "original" diary of Jasta 24 exists at least three times! What version will you declare as the right one?

Not sure where that came from. But I do enjoy being truthful. Thanks for your confirmation but it still lack credibility. The Jacobs diary is a day to day account made during the war. But as for the Jasta 24 mention R. Duiven covered that when he was alive. It might help you to do a bit of research on that. Since it was Rick that published the "Tornuss, diary excerpts."

For other people not aware of it. . . When the Nazis came to power they tried to rewrite history and impounded most private history collections in Germany. There were several individuals that hid their collections and after the war these came out from their secrecy. It was people like Mr. Puglisi and Mr. Grosz that purchased copies of these collections.

Also a bit of further note. There has been, is and will be a strain of fellows that believe that German history can only be researched by Germans. It is highly offensive to these fellows that anyone, who is not German says, or publishes anything about German history. I hope this helps the average reader to understand. Jacobs did not believe this and spoke to anyone who was interested. By the way his small library was one the Nazis impounded. He also refused to Nazify and had to spend WWII in Norway.
