The "irony" of Oltmans portraying deMohrenschildt

[edit]

It's intentional irony, same as casting Jim Garrison to portray Earl Warren. This section makes it sound like it just oddly enough happened that way. 71.65.248.32 (talk) 12:36, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dollars

[edit]

I changed the 8 million guilders / 4 million dollars. With the current dollar rate it is about 5.6 million dollar. The euro/guilder rate is static (2.20371 guilders = 1 euro). With the dollar going down more and more every day, it seems more useful to put the euro amount and guilder amount in it; or someone should change the article every day.

Friendship With De Mohrenschildt

[edit]

According to De Mohrenschildt's manuscript about Oswald, "I Am A Patsy! I Am A Patsy!", Oltmanns and De Mohrenschildt became friends after 1967:

"From that moment on, this Dutch journalist, who initially approached us, because he had received indications that we might be involved indirectly through Oswald with the Kennedy assassination, became a very personal friend . He has visited us every year since 1967."

(Source: * I Am A Patsy! I Am a Patsy, de Mohrenschildt’s memoir. This is only part of the manuscript (see the HSCA report on him below HSCA Vol.12 deMohrenschildt for the full and complete typescript manuscript).) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.198.59.52 (talk) 20:47, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

An audio version of this memoir in MP3 format is available from an online bookseller as of 12/9/17. According to Oltmans' words on this audio recording, Oltmans helped De Mohrenschildt and his wife make this recording in Dallas, Texas, in February 1969.
