Thanks Kai!

There's people there saying that "Sepp Allerberger" is a ficcious name, but I'm sure it isn't. I have his adress, and found it in a pretty reliable source. Nevertheless, Albrecht Wacker's statement in his book is sure confusing:

Quote:
"German marksmen - even in their own country - are considered as wicked killers. Because of this, it has proved necessary to protect the subject of this study by keeping his identity anonymous. Many of the names in this book are likewise fictitious, but the story is real.
The subject of this book we will call 'Sepp Allerberger'..."
Judging by what I've read, there's a previous book, published in german language, called "Im Auge des Jaegers", that uses Allerberger memoirs, but with the pseudonym "Franz Kramer".

I'd like to write Herr Allerberger, but all this confusion made me stop to gather some information on his identity.
