  [S8] Information from an informant - Auskunft eines Informanten - Information d'un informateur. Proposed Change: Friedrich Gnägy (I299295) Tree: Südpfalz / Southern Palatinate Link: http://www.birkenhoerdt.net/getperson.php?personID=I299295&tree=Suedpfalz Description: Died: Sebastopol, Russia (traditional) or Died: Sevastopol, Russia wikipedia sez, "Sevastopol was founded in June 1783 as a base for a naval squadron under the name Akhtiar (White Cliff), by Rear Admiral Thomas Mackenzie, a native Scot in Russian service; soon after Russia annexed the Crimean Khanate." Also; "German forces were forced to use railway artillery and specialized heavy mortars to destroy Sevastopol's extremely heavy fortifications, such as the Maxim Gorky naval battery. After fierce fighting, which lasted for 250 days, the supposedly untakable fortress city finally fell to Axis forces in July 1942." In conclusion I ask, If this place was in Russian hands until about a month after Friedrich died, how come is the place name (Sewastopol) in Deutsch?
