Acknowledgement

I am indebted to many people for supporting my research, for providing contacts, and for their willingness to be available for discussions and interviews. First and foremost, the Fleckhaus family, who always stood by me actively and with great sympathy. Special thanks are due to my late teacher and friend Prof. Eckhard Neumann (1933–2006), above in conversation with Thomas Bayrle, without whose example and encouragement I would probably not have undertaken the intensive, time-consuming, and costly work. I would like to thank Shawn McBrideof the Will McBride Archive for allowing me to show his father’s images on these pages.
