# Talk:Rotter kidnapping

At the moment, the Aftermath section states that “Fritz Rotter and his wife would shortly after leave Liechtenstein and with assistance from Wladimir Rosenbaum, would live in exile in France until his death in 1939.”
Now, there are two potential ways to interpret the final passage – was it the death of Rosenbaum or Rotter? In the former case, just a bit more clarity would suffice; in the latter, there seems to be a major contradiction there – Fritz Rotter’s own article notes that he had emigrated to the US and died in 1984 in Switzerland (and his IMDb page certainly has a lot of credits extending well into the ‘60s). There doesn’t appear to be a cited source there, so it could well be false – and I’ve no way to check with the cited source in this article; but perhaps someone would be willing to look into this and smooth this out?

I'm fairly certain that they are not the same person. As according to the sources regarding this it is a different Fritz Rotter, who died in a French prison in 1939. TheBritinator (talk) 12:15, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
Well, what are the odds! Can you clarify which sources in particular? Seems like the kidnapped Fritz’s year of birth should clear things up; if this is indeed the case, I’ll re-edit the other Rotter’s article to avoid future confusion. Besides, the “died in exile” passage should probably be re-worded, too, then, to include the prison bit. Vadim Galimov (talk) 13:25, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
