And still the same guards would tell about the IF that "they were talking amongst themselves in English." But I do understand that you are grasping for any straw you possibly can.
Where are the quotes? IF they're real can you prove they are from the same guards on the same day? All it says is 'guard book' and you have no proof. You also need to consider the Bolshevik guards were not western European and were not exposed to English and German or people who spoke them. They were from the interior of Russia, miles from western Europe, never traveled, had no money, little education, no use for languages. Some were even illiterate. Even today, most Americans, even smart ones, don't know anything about foreign languages because they never have a reason to use them.
And what a joke ME grasping at straws?
It's rather tiring trying to watch you scramble for ways to make excuses for AA using German and not English, Russian or French which AN knew well. The real reason, of course, is because she was really FS.
Seems that they understood enough of it, though.
It does not say that, does it? You added it.
Exactly, and that was why Dr. Derevenko was denied access after the Empress had used German instead of Russian in front of the guards.
Makes no sense, does it, since he was Russian.
And still you swallow Ian Vorres, Berenberg Gossler et alia line, hook and sinker just because their version fit your view. Interesting.
They have many quotes from people who knew her, not just some random person who came forward when there was money involved.
Count Carl Bonde was not exactly your average traveller, he was an emissary for the Swedish Red Cross.
Doesn't matter, he was one person, and no one else can verify the story.
Princess Helena Petrovna of Russia was also held prisoner at Perm during the autumn of 1918. One day, a young girl calling herself "Anastasia Romanov" was brought to her cell. The Bolsheviks wanted to know if she was, as they suspected, the daugher of Nicholas II. Helena said no, and the girl was taken away.
Helena also wrote an entire story with one of the goals to prove that AA was a fake. It says so in the forward of her story in "Romanov Autumn."
Seems that they did not care, as long as they had any hopes of catching the runaway.
There was no runaway and they knew it. Look at all the accounts, they knew they were all dead. Even the one where they couldn't find the head still knows she was dead. You know I used to believe those fantasy stories too because they were more exiciting than the truth and I wanted to, but now I realize there is no factual basis for any of them and logic contradicts them.
Of course you don't believe nurse Malinovsky and Dr. Chemnitz, they don't fit into your story. And I am sure someone smuggled "Last Days of the Romanov" into Dalldorf where Fräulein Unbekannt, who had taken a crash course in English, read the whole thing with a flashlight under the covers.
AA never 'came out' as AN until 1922 AFTER Clara P. had her labeled as Tatiana, Bux said she was too short, and Von Kliest gave her the piece of paper with the names on it and she x'd out all but the one of her height, Anastasia. The nurse story was added later by supporters trying to give her a backup before 1922, but it didn't exist. And the nurse even said 1922 in the paper, because it was a fake story she lost track of timelines. We've been through all this before. The nurse story is fiction. Some things just defy logic because they didn't really happen. The only other explaination for the nurse story is that it actually happened after Clara showed AA the pictures. But no, sorry, there's no way AA magically mentioned being "AN" to a person months before, then did nothing until she was called 'Tatiana'. Also remember, she had no problem being called 'Tatiana' until Bux said she was too short. Any GD wil do in a pinch.
