[edit] what was the outcome of the hearing?

Peculiarly, the outcome of the hearing is not mentioned, leaving the readers (me) in the dark. However, the Friedwardt Winterberg article states that he "was later acquitted of all charges". If so, then that should be mentioned here, together with a reference. Harald88 22:52, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I believe that statement refers to the investigation in Germany. As I stated here:

After receiving documentation in April 1985, the case was investigated by Harald Duhn, the Attorney General of Hamburg. In March 1987, the investigation concluded after questioning a number of witnesses and determining no basis for prosecution. Rudolph was then granted German citizenship.

Thus, Rudolph was not actually aquitted as the Hamburg prosecutor found no evidence to go forward with any prosecution. This is taken from the American in Exile book. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 03:47, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

• The Technical College of Berlin did not become a university until 1946, so this is the correct name in 1928. This has been clarified.
• Bachelor of Science- Rudolph stated he had the equivalent of a BS durng interviews noted in American in Exile and per documents from the referenced FBI dossier. I know the German system of the time did not have a BS, but I have not been able to figure out the exact name.
• Rudoplh was in the Nazi party and the SA reserve. He never made any secret of it, discussing it in American in Exile. Again, this is noted several times in the FBI documents. Since this was a central issue in the OSI case, it is hardly "irrelevant information".
• "His life is a sad example..." is an unsourced opinion. Opinions by others are fine as long as they are sourced.
