69. Report of Professor Otto Reche, May 12, 1959, in Hamburg, IX, 1648–1724. Modern critics have pointed out that Reche was a former Nazi whose discredited racial blood theories had supported the Third Reich’s anti-Semitic policies; similar charges, though, could be leveled at many of the other German experts involved in both sides of Anderson’s case. Reche’s anthropological work in Anderson’s case was unrelated to his serology work with the Nazi regime and, as with the opinions of similar colleagues who testified for and against her claim, must stand or fall on its own merits.

84. Первое упоминание о возможной поездке появилось в номере немецкой газеты Königsberger Allgemaine Zeitung от 7 марта 1927 года, через два года после того, как Андерсон сделала свое полемическое заявление. О поездке также упоминалось в двух советских изданиях: «Монархия перед крушением: бумаги Николая II и другие документы, 1914–1917», Москва/Ленинград: Государственное издательство, 1927 год; и «Романовы и германское влияние во время мировой войны», Ленинград: издательство «Красная газета», 1929 год, обе книги выпущены под редакцией В.П. Семенникова. Утверждалось также, что об этой поездке говорилось в третьей книге, которая предположительно была издана в 1921 году, до заявления Андерсон. Фактически же настойчивые исследования доктора Ричарда Дэйвиса, куратора Русского архива Университета в Лидсе, Великобритания, а также работы проведенные в Марбургском университете с включением всестороннего исследования национальной библиографии Германии, показали, что в период между 1921 и 1925 годом ни одной такой книги не издавалось в Германии. Письмо доктора Ричарда Дейвиса от 11 октября 2008 года, посланное электронной почтой Дэйвиду Вернолл-Даунсу, было передано авторам настоящей книги самим получателем письма.
