I mean to be pedantic, and i think you mean "wie es eigentlich gewesen ist."
>I wonder if I ever knew anyone named Otto Ranke?
well, yeah.
Otto was the name of the first VW i owned, back in '62.
We used to call to him "Otto, Ranke[n sie, bitte]" whenever we wanted him to
jump the queue in traffic.
obviously.
worked every time, as i recall.
