Helmut Bode or Helmuth Bode?

I've changed Helmut Bode to Helmuth Bode in this article, as from theList of Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross recipients (Bn–Bz) and List of people from Metz, Helmuth seems the correct spelling. If I am making an error here, please revert. HistoryEditor3 (talk) 21:07, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to the above, I've just deleted the reference to the "wrecked aircraft" coming down, and changed this simply to "aircraft". Technically the aircraft was not wrecked as it came down - it was only a "wrecked aircraft" after it crashed on the farmland. If you think I'm being a little bit too technical, please don't hesitate to revert! HistoryEditor3 (talk) 06:10, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
