* The "Dr." is an integral part of the name in Germany once the Ph.D. is accredited here. This is why you also see this title as part of names of officers in the former Wehrmacht and the modern-day Bundeswehr. Hence, please don't take this as pomposity on my part, but as complying with the German practice. (Well ... "Herr Doktor" does impress officials and other self-important people, making life just a bit easier in Germany.)
