Sources disagree about the spelling of Rudolph Dirks's birthplace. Some say he was born in Heide, Germany; others say it was Heinde, with an 'n'. If they mention a region of Germany, they all say it was in Holstein. There is, in fact, a tiny village named Heinde, near Salzgitter, but it's in Lower Saxony. Heide, a somewhat larger town, is in Holstein. Evidently 'Heinde' was a typo that was copied by various authors.
[edit] Gus Dirks
The article says Gus committed suicide in 1903, but, according to his death certificate, it was June 10, 1902. Also, I believe he was born in 1880, making him younger, not older, than Rudolph.
