[edit] Suggested move

The subject of the article was German, and his surname is correctly spelled "Theodor", without the terminal e. It's rather unusual to translate names of persons that lived in the 20th century, so despite the fact that this is English language Wikipedia this should be moved to the German spelling.

Sure, I can go along with that. The same was applied to one of my favorite Classical historians Theodor Mommsen. As Jimbo is fond of saying "It should not be a big deal". A BIGGER deal, however, is finding more specific information on Von Hipple himself. I've looked all over the place and can only find scant references and anecdotes. It is as if much of the record of his early and later life and wartime activities fell into a deep, black hole. I can't even find any reliable DoBs/DoDs!! Considering the nature of his activities and the regime he served, some gaps are to be expected, but these are chasims! Was he another victim in the purge of the Abwehr following the July Plot? Did he manage to escape somewhere? Did he participate in any of the Brandenburgers' wartime operations? So far I've turned up Nada. Please, if you know anything more on the subject besides his proper German name spelling, throw them in and you will have this Geist's gratitude. Danke, --R.D.H.
