Referencing needed[edit]

When I originally wrote this, early in my Wikipedia "career", I found all info contained in this article at this time. When I returned to add citations, I could not find access to all the info in the article. If anyone can supply cites where I indicated they are needed, it would round out the article.

Ottorowo in Galicia (Austria-Hungary) or in Poznan/Posen (Germany)?[edit]

My guess is that Mai was born in Otorowo (Poland)], a village that was part of Prussia in 1815-1918 under the slightly Germanised name of Ottorowo (not to be mistaken with Otteraue, known in Polish as Otorowo as well). In consequence, Mai was a German-born subject. The confusion with Galicia might derive from a misreading or clerical error of the German "Kreis Sambor" (district of Sambir, Ukraine) in lieu of "kreis Samter" (district of Gmina Szamotuly, Poland).

guess you're right. Ottorowo in Galicia (which district ?) is not to be found. And, why should a austro-hungarian subject serve in prusso-german armed forces ? --129.187.244.28 (talk) 12:40, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
