At the Third International Congress of Mathematicians Julius König gave a flawed refutation of Cantor's continuum hypothesis and the well-ordering theorem. A newly discovered postcard of Zermelo to Max Dehn supports the view that Zermelo quickly detected the gap in König's argument. This is in contrast to more recent views that attribute this role exclusively to Hausdorff.
