Source to expand this article[edit]

I found this book:

Horton, Aaron (Dec 11, 2013). German POWs, Der Ruf, and the Genesis of Group 47: The Political Journey of Alfred Andersch and Hans Werner Richter. Rowman & Littlefield. ISBN 9781611476170.

It looks like it'll be a good source to expand the article, if you have access to it. There's a preview online. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 17:52, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And another one, whole book available online through Project Muse

Fort Kearny or Fort Kearney?[edit]

@Cae prince and RobDuch: I noticed that you had, between you, changed all references to Fort Kearney in the article to Fort Kearny. I also see, reading the Fort Kearny article, that said article mentions Fort Kearny being used as a POW camp, and it appears to be in the right town. However, all the sources used in this article spell it Kearney. Is it the same fort? Did the spelling of the name change between the 1940s and now? I don't like that the article now gives a different spelling of the fort's name than the sources supporting it. Can either of you shed some light on this? Thanks. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 23:58, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sources spelling it "Kearney" are incorrect. It was named for Major General Philip Kearny in General Order 194, 27 Dec 1904, per FortWiki.com http://www.fortwiki.com/Fort_Kearny_(3) . Note that it is spelled "Kearny" on the official plan of the fort revised through 1921 on that page. The town of Kearny, New Jersey is also named for him. I have seen his tomb in Arlington Cemetery, his monument in Chantilly, VA, and road signs for several place names called after him. Everything I've seen spells it "Kearny". The erroneous spelling appears to have crept into 1940s documentation and later perpetuated by sources writing about that era. BTW, the name "Kearney" appears in a confusing manner in Nebraska, with a town of Kearney near a Fort Kearny (named for Stephen Watts Kearny). RobDuch (talk) 00:05, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Since it's a common mis-spelling, I've noted this in the intro to the fort's page and the disambiguation page, and also created a redirect page. RobDuch (talk) 22:07, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
