[edit] TMathematicianFKAGrünwald

It seems that Gallai went by the name Grünwald at some point in his life. For example, page 81 of Diestel's Graph Theory (3rd Edition, Springer, 2005) attributes a proof of Menger's Theorem to "T. Grünwald (later Gallai), Ein neuer Beweis eines Mengerschen Satz (J. London Math. Soc. 13, 1938). Since I don't know the details, I've not added this change of name to the main article. The Hungarian Wikipedia article mentions the name Grünwald and doesn't seem to say anything about it, though I don't speak Hungarian. Maybe somebody who has a source that explains what happened can add something to the article about it. Dricherby (talk) 17:24, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
