OLDENSREVENGE's Namesake?

We already know that Dean Steacy uses the username JADEWARR. Apparently, he also uses another username called OLDENSREVENGE. To what extent he uses this name no one is sure yet, but here is a little background on who I believe to be OLDENSREVENGE's namesake.

Meet Rudolph Olden.

And something he wrote.

Is this who Dean Steacy is modeling one of his online alter egos after?

More to Come as it is available.

UPDATE:

From Rudolph Olden's Wikipedia page. Excerpted and translated through Babelfish

On the day after the realm tag fire Olden - by friends warned - could escape straight still in time an arrest. It went to Prague, where it published the essay "Hitler of the conquerers" in the following year anonymous. From Prague Olden went to Paris, where 1934 its much-considered documentation "black book concerning the situation of the Jews in Germany" appeared. Still in the same year Olden transferred the line of the newspaper the realm to Saarbruecken and engaged thereby much in the fight against the connection of the Saarland to the third realm.

During this time Olden could publish only in exile newspapers, like e.g.. the new diary, Paris day sheet or the collection. The diplomat Gilbert Murray invited Olden due to some of these essays to hold in London and Oxford lectures on German history and home policy.


Rudolph Olden, it appears, was a sort resistance writer. Forced into exile and publishing Anti-Hitler screeds anonymously from Prague. According to this:

"He is known as an Anti-Nazi defence lawyer..."

He was a member of an ad hoc government in exile, a senator in fact.
