Moa-bites[edit]

I see that an Irish edition of the Moabiter Sonette calls them "Moabite Sonetts".Is this a joking references to the Moabites? --Radh (talk) 17:29, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article is teeming with errors. --Ernst Haiger 21:03, 13 May 2009, CET

But where exactly?--Radh (talk) 19:23, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Moabiter Sonette[edit]

79 Sonnets

I have consulted the 2nd printing of 1946, which has an afterword by Rainer Hildebrandt.

There is an English translation by M.D.Herter Norton, "Moabit Sonnets" (ISBN: 0393045323 )

There is a memorial with a line from a sonnet at the site of the prison in the Moabit district of Berlin (Berlin-Moabit)

"The Father" is in the Dover "Introduction to German Poetry" with a literal translation on the facing page (Der Vater, p. 162) G. Robert Shiplett 14:32, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Forward to 2nd 1946 printing[edit]

Roughly translated, the frontispiece reads:

The last poems of Albrecht Haushofer whose life was sacrificed

because he was a man and freedom was aboe life itself

lying in the hand of the dead prisoner, they bear witness to the spirit which moved him

(unnumbered page 3 in that printing) Lothar Blanvalet Verlag, Berlin G. Robert Shiplett 14:40, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Discrepancy or opinion?[edit]

The Hess article states:

 with Hess and Haushofer's son Albrecht developing a strong friendship

This is not what is stated in this article.

With regard to Hess, the German wiki states only:

 Ab 1933 war er auf Empfehlung von Rudolf Heß Dozent an der Hochschule für Politik in Berlin.

which is not stated here.

One source (Solomon Wistrich, 2002) states:

 Albrecht Haushofer was probably the architect of Rudolf Hess's (q.v.) flight to Britain in May 1941 
 to seek British collaboration against the Russians. [1]

Yet another account with details: Peter Hoffmann

 Over lunch on May 5, Hess met the younger Haushofer, Professor Albrecht Haushofer, whom he had summoned 
 to his room in the Hotel Drei Mohren

I have added a See Also for Duke of Hamilton as the connection to the Duke was likely Haushofer in the von Ribbentrop ministry, not Hess (see Hoffmann, above)

Grundman in "The Einstein Dossiers: Science and Politics" asserts that Hess shielded Haushofer under the Nazi regime.
