What is the source of this information in the article: "..., the comrade of the author ("Hals") who is referred throughout the book has been identified, contacted, and has verified Guy Sajer's account."? Since this statement seems of no minor relevance with respect to the book's authenticity controversy, shouldn't it be mentioned? Besides, the comrade was named Halls in the book - this should probably also be fixed. VickyP 22:33, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Actually his name is spelled as Hals in the book. I'm certain of this due to the fact that i just stopped reading the book a few minutes ago.
Well, I've got a German copy of the book in front of me ("Denn dieser Tage Qual war groß", Deutscher Bücherbund, 1969), and in it he's called Halls. It would be interesting to know how he's spelled in the French original, and also why either the English or the German translator chose to change that spelling. VickyP 21:11, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
