I was caught by surprise that Gerhard Hein's former last name was Philippczyk when I looked at the Wikipedia for information. I'm not sure that was right. Most sources doesn't mention Philippczyk as Gerhard Hein's former name. For so many years up until now I thought Gerhard Hein was born Gerhard Hein. Gerhard Hein was the holder of the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves. This situation needs checking out please.

Re: Gerhard Hein's Former Last Name?
The german wikipedia also mentions December 1938 as the year of name change from Gerhard Franz Philippczyk to Gerhard Hein. Less polish I guess
