The Stars and Stripes, Friday, April 13, 1966, Page 4: 

 

„ Felix Count von Luckner was the German ‚good guy‘ “

____________________________________________________________________________

 

 

Fletcher M. Burton, former Consul General of the United States of America (Leipzig), 2004:

 

„Count von Luckner is of importance to us for two reasons, first his engagement  in the field of international understanding and second his  important role he played in the negotiations during the surrender of Halle to the „Timberwolves“ in 1945. Please, feel free to refer to me in your researches.“
