This tale has been discussed repeatedly on a history forum that I frequent. It's just to amusing a tale to want it to be true despite a lack of physical evidence.
But the author's habit of referring to himself in the third person was extremely distracting. Surprisingly I found the major source listed in wiki on Amazon... now I just need $120 and to increase my meager knowledge of German to find out myself. |
