Gabriele, dear friends...

That's amazing and I really wish, Helmut Braun was right in identifying Arnold Schwarz, the editor of "Der Tag", but I'm afraid, that the "Third Man Enigma" still persists. Thanks to Peter Elbau, we got a picture of A. Schwartz, a member of the fraternity "Herzlia" from the year 1922. I've posted this picture to the Ehpes.com Blog:

This is apparently our "Third Man", but regarding Arnold Schwarz, the editor of "Der Tag", we learn from Hartmut Merkt, the author of "Poesie in der Isolation", that Arnold Schwarz was born in in Vama the year 1880 and deceased in Czernowitz in the year 1936. This is consistent with the fact, that he appears in the year 1917 as editor in charge of the "Czernowitzer Allgemeine Zeitung" (see above mentioned post). But if so, then an 42, respectively 48 year old man doesn't look like our "Third Man" at all. So, you see, why I'm still in doubt. I've contacted Hartmut Merkt, asking for his resource for the biographical data, but unfortunately until now without any feedback.

Thank you for your outstanding effort in solving the "Third Man Enigma" and warmest wishes to all of you!
