There were a lot of Adolfs up to the 1940s. After that...it went out of style. Another famous Adolf at that time was Adolf Galland (German fighter ace) and another was Adolf Malan (British fighter ace! He was customarily called "Sailor" Malan by his squadron mates in the RAF). These 2 Adolfs nearly tangled a few times over the Channel, and they probably met after the war to reminisce about the old days.

Dianavan, why would you ask if my mother's name is Sabre or Sabra????? Her name is Mary.
