Thank you very much for this most interesting historical information.
This is exactly what frustrated the Satmar Rebbe ZTL so much, the false portrayal of his shita as “the Satmarer shita” when in fact; it was the shita of the majority of pre war gedoilim.
The argument that most gedolim “changed” or would of changed their shita in light of the defacto situation of the medina, IS WRONG & UNACCEPTABLE by anyone to whom the words of the Chasam Sofer ZTL is dear & holy, as he constantly taught, that the torah doesn’t change, and this was the battle cry of his talmidim who fought to establish the Orthodoxy in the Austrian Hungarian empire in the 1820’s.
Lets not go into why a lot of gedolim changed their shita…. I will give you 1 hint…… money….
