Friedman

Spelling

The official U.S. government report spells the name as 'BOLIVAR' - All caps and no accent. ^[1]. An extensive modern German reference than seems to be just a translation of our site (https://de.qwe.wiki/wiki/Operation_Bolivar), writes it as Operation Bolívar but gives no references for the article. A 2017 article in Der Spiegel about the operation and its publication in the NSA report (see above), likewise spells it 'Operation Bolívar' but with no links to original Nazi material. ^[2]
