It does appear that some apologies may be in order ... my transmitting to several lists the Al Martin "Raw" allegation that Karl Rove is the grandson of the Nazi-era Gauleiter of Oldenburg was certainly premature, and I do very sincerely apologize for it.

Historian and scholar Michael Rademacher of Germany is the author of a book about Roever. His statement here makes it very unlikely that Roever's recognized or traceable descendants include a grandson.

What we have here is apparently a similarity in name only. My own research also uncovered the fact that Rove is a name known in Scandinavia.
