Swedish jury, you might want to read his posts again, he did not know how to spell it, it wasn´t a joke. Now he knows and all is fine.

Overruled, lack of knowledge was evident in the first posting, but in the 2nd
traces of a pun could be discerned . Just teasing you Frank, you correction
in regards of spelling is more than appropriate

I was referring to his second latest post. I think he knows by now.

It´s the same story as the word Leibstandarte. Don´t know how many times I´ve read Liebstandarte...

Anyway, no big deal. We are all different, but with these 12 years of history as common interest!

Yes, it is one of the US collector´s most favourite mistakes. I bet even some books have it wrong. I admit it is not easy and confusing with the Junkers planes around in the same era. AND there is the German rank of Fahnenjunker (without a C), derived from the ancient "Junker", a kind of knight.

Frank, don't forget the still-present (at that time) "ostelbischen Junker" (very influental and extremely conservative landowners whose estates lay eastwards of the Elbe).

Sure, but these fall into the knight Junker category, which were their ancestors.

[Folkert D.]

Of course, if you group them that way. (I would argue for them being not so ancient, with specific origin in 1807-1811, but that's probably worth a disscusion of it's own.)

Sorry for this OT interruption to the thread!
