Dave Danner Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) From his Personalakte: "gem. Schreiben d. I.R. 29 v. 24.6.38 Rufn.: 'Johann Albert'" The Schreiben below. He may have gone by "Hans Albert" for a while, but reverted to his official birth name. His birth certificate has "Johann Albert Hermann Gotthilf".
