Well now......you know: there just might have been an officer in the Imperial German Army with the surname Renk. Furthermore, the natives might have added the honorific "b'swana"........and then, of course, there might not have been. If there was, his first name was Helmut and he was a Kapitain.
MsEVP, you caught me: my imagination was running rampant. As punishment, I will force-march to the pub and drink some penitent beers.......I like your second anagram the best:)
