* Booklet says that Lemnitz is joined by Torsten Ralf on this track, record says Helge Rosvaenge.

** Both Alberti and Kindermann, the booklet says their first names are unknown, cannot be fully identified. There is a possibility that Alberti was Werner Alberti but this cannot be confirmed. One source says Kindermann is Lydia Kindermann, but this is not confirmed anywhere else.
