Research Notes

1. Horst's birthplace is given as Sensburg, East Prussia, Germany in his obituary. But his living brother says that he and the rest of the siblings were born in the village named here, which is very near Sensburg. This same living brother provided Horst's middle name of "Herbert." (RR, 6/22/2020)
