Baumgarten:
I believe the above to all be fiction or a lie. Dietrich has info that notes Otto Reif of Suhl was a scoundrel and was run out of Suhl on a rail. So said divorce was more like a purging. I believe I can safely say that when Otto Reif of Suhl fled East Germany he lost his mechanics, and possibly his connection with Edgar Strempel, and he couldn't fill any orders as he couldn't file his way out of a wet paper bag. I have yet to see his name & the term büchsenmacher in the same sentence, in any registers or the like.
Kind Regards,
