1961ⓘTranslated by Walter Ernsting (<A href="http:///www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?81469">Clark Darlton</a>) as seems to have been in fact, though the German publications credit <A href="http:///www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?169171">Heinz Bingenheimer</a>. According to <A href="http:///www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?CLRKDRLTND2000">this source</a>, p. 93f., Bingenheimer passed the work on to Ernsting.
