Although ''Bras de Fer'' attempts to tell an accurate narrative of [[Johann Trollmann]]'s life, its portrayal of the events surrounding his death does not match [https://web.archive.org/web/20170105084523/http://hmd.org.uk/resources/stories/hmd-2016-johann-‘rukeli’-trollmann the biography published by the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust in 2016]. According to that source, while he was indeed imprisoned in the {{w|Neuengamme concentration camp|Neuengamme concentration camp}} in 1942 (as shown in ''[[Bras de Fer (comic story)|Bras de Fer]]''), he was comparatively well-treated by the commandant, who wished to make use of his boxing talents to train his own troops; nevertheless his health began to fail due to the living conditions, and he was smuggled by the prisoners committe out of Neuengame to the adjacent camp of {{w|Wittenberge#History|Wittenberge}} under an assumed name. There, he was ultimately murdered not by an SS firing squad but by a vengeful {{w|Kapo|Kapo}} with whom he had gotten into a boxing match, and who felt humiliated by Trollmann's victory. The HMDT dated those events to March 1944,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170105084523/http://hmd.org.uk/resources/stories/hmd-2016-johann-‘rukeli’-trollmann ''Johann “Rukeli” Trollmann'' on the Holocaust Memorial Day website]</ref> As of 2022, Wikipedia instead gave April 9th, 1944 as the date of his death.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Johann_Trollmann&oldid=1072955721 ''Johann Trollmann'' on Wikipedia]</ref> | |||
