it strikes me greatly, how eerily similar thomas kretschmann (the guy who played hosenfeld in the pianist) looks to the real hosenfeld.

anyone else noticed?

• The very same thought occurred to me...

Not really. Only in that one photo.

Indeed? Then someone should put up more pictures of him.

i genuinely feel sorry for him for what must have come upon him at the very end. i wanted to look at his diary ...i figured the links which lead to this all end in german websites...does anyone know of websites featuring english translations of his diary?

Do we have any verifiable sources for this entry? Considering the major source is his diary some other, more verifiable/impartial sources, would be extremely valuable.

Look at the source again: it is his diary, as _compiled_ by someone else. In other words, the editor's comments are a reliable sources. Other sources are among the web links at the bottom of the page and also include Szpilman's book as well as the German Wikipedia article.
