Talk:Ferdinand Maria von Senger und Etterlin

Untitled
Hmm. I clearly don't understand why the talk page has the translation note and not the article itself. Oh, well. Cyberherbalist (talk) 07:30, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Rhodes scholarship
The source given for the subject's Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford is just a comment on another discussion board.

But the Rhodes Trust website, which has a search facility for everyone ever awarded a Rhodes Scholarship, does not list Ferdinand. In fact the only Von Senger Und Etterlin recorded there is his father Fridolin, who certainly was a Rhodes Scholar shortly before WWI.

As if absence from the official record were not sufficient grounds for doubt, it might be added that for obvious reasons German candidates were not granted Rhodes Scholarships in the years immediately after both world wars, yet the Wikipedia biography actually claims Ferdinand was at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar in the late 1940s.

I wonder if someone has at some point unwittingly confused the son with the father and mistakenly awarded the former the same academic distinctions as the latter? 2A00:23C7:D431:2201:25D8:2A8B:3A5:DBC8 (talk) 15:47, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

Death
In the German version of this article Gen von Senger und Etterlin died at the BwZK in Koblenz, in this version he died at his home. Which is correct? 91.221.58.22 (talk) 15:10, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
