You are asking for evidence that a person was not detained (see your post #30 in this thread).
Not particularly, only why people were challenging the witness statements. Again, I repeat, failing memory was the only answer given.
No positive evidence would exist denying an event which did not occur.
I thought I had dealt with that point.
The most that could be expected from records is a lack of indication that the event did occur (which seems to be the case).
Well, that would demonstrate that the detention probably did not take place, and although, not conclusive, would be better than nothing.
Note that there is no evidence that Brazel publicly claimed such during his lifetime, only anecdotal statements after his death. It's incumbent on those claiming an event took place to provide evidence.
Yes I had noted that, but I was only ever referring to the neighbour's anecdotal statements, and the potential of finding corroborative evidence from the military admin records..
To be honest Pope 130, I have done this to death now, and quite frankly, I am all "detentioned" out. Perhaps we can mutually provide a little light relief by changing the subject.
