General Ernesto Geisel was born in the night of August 3, 1907. His birthdate was changed to protect him if his exams results weren't in his admission to the Army's School (Colégio Militar). His birth register was changed in 1920 on the book and the person who wrote it had a calligraphy completely different, if compared to the other registers. (GASPARI, Elio. A ditadura derrotada.
