WP gives this Meier anecdote slightly differently: when a bomb falls on the Ruhr you can call me Meier. This difference is not completely trivial, the Ruhr is close to the Western border, while Berlin is a much larger flying distance from Britain. Also the Ruhr was the area where all weapons factories were and Berlin is ... well you know.--Paul Wormer 15:27, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Somewhere else I found "German towns" instead of "Berlin" (or Ruhr), to me that is the most probable. --Paul Wormer 15:41, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
