So many people who have contributed to this book that we can not possibly list all their names here. Certain individuals though have contributed in significant ways and I would like to thank them for their help. I thank Dollan Rinell for her invaluable translations and stories of life in China and Sweden, and Lally Rinell and Margie (Jonell) Rinell for contributions of information.

Wilhelm Matzat provided apprecaited corrections and additional information, especially regarding the German presence in Shantung. Thanks to Sten Lindberg use of his publication memoirs.
