What about the wife?
- I don't know; is there some reason to refer to her here? Please explain. 3tibet 18:12, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
well... Any biography of a great man must have the name of the woman who accompanied him in his life. (sorry for my english) - Erik. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.95.18.130 (talk) 01:53, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Some things worth adding?
Just some possible suggestions for additional content (from memory - would need checking):
- Wasn't he in Tibet for 8 years, leaving a year (or so) later than H. H.?
- Is internment the right term, or were they prisoners/prisoners of war? Does this depend on whether they where civilians or in military service at the time?
- There is no explanation of how he ending up in an internment camp. (They where intending to climb the Himalayas coming via India, then part of the British Empire, and were detained there.)
- There where three escape attempts before they succeeded in reached Tibet.
- They intended to return to Austria via Tibet/China, by reaching the Japanese front-line.

- As to #2 above, they would be considered internees, not POWs...Engr105th (talk) 15:44, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
As to #2, actually they would be considered POWs, as they were imprisoned because of and in a time of war. The British government saw fit to arrest any German aliens within their territory when the war started, and Aufshnaiter and H. H. were two of the victims. 58.172.130.139 (talk) 03:33, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
