5 “So unlikely as to approach an impossibility,” writes Røed-Larsen of this book’s discovery, in Spesielle Partikler (597).
6 The existence and persistence of such a pad is briefly disputed by Røed-Larsen (598).
7 Røed-Larsen takes issue with Jean-Baptiste’s involvement (601), citing Catherine Hodeir and Michel Pierre, L’Exposition Coloniale (1991); Sylvie Pala, Documents: Exposition Coloniale Internationale (1981); and Sylviane Leprun, Le Théâtre des colonies (1986) as providing no mention of a rubber plantation at the exposition’s Indochina Pavilion.
8 Røed-Larsen claims they were actually married in the spring of 1934, citing an attestation de marriage he tracked down in an archive at the Halte-Garderie Municipale (603).
9 In one of his more passionate dissents, Røed-Larsen claims there is no evidence that such a conference ever took place in Copenhagen during the winter of 1937, pointing to, among other things, the fact that Niels Bohr was in the middle of a world tour at this point, engaged with visiting the USA, Japan, China, and the USSR. “Unless, of course,” Røed-Larsen writes facetiously, “Tofte-Jebsen is writing of another Bohr, another Copenhagen, a parallel Bohr in a parallel Copenhagen. . in which case I can offer no comment” (604).
10 “Another fabrication,” writes Røed-Larsen. “There is no record in the Japanese Imperial Army Hall of Records (
, Tokyo) of a Lieutenant Sakutaro Matsuo stationed in French Indochina during the years 1940–1945. There is a Warrant Officer R. Matsuoka and a Captain T. Matsumoto, but I must assume that neither of these are the man in question, unless of course Tofte-Jebsen can provide evidence to the contrary” (610).
11 The Phumi Hang Savat attack is challenged by Røed-Larsen, who points to the absence of any record or testimony of such an event. “Historical fiction disgusts me,” he writes. “No—all fiction, no matter its time or place, sends me into an existential tailspin. Why invent? Why invent when so much of the truth—the real truth—remains unknown?” (618)
