Hope German?

Hello

Need some help finding out information on this tomato called Hope German. It was brought to TomatoPalooza 8 (2010) and is on the variety list. It was on the Pinks table. I liked the flavor of this beefsteak and took seeds from it. I grew out 4 plants this year. I disliked this plant at the start because the first 8 or so tomatoes were hollow inside an I thought I had a stuffer and wondered what had happined to the nice tomato I had had at TomatoPalooza. Well that changed the tomato filled out and has been productive for me as I picked more(never give up at the start). Have done searches on Hope German an came up empty handed.
Was Hope German a typo? Was bad penmanship involved?Did someone hope this tomato was German? Is this someones cross? Craig thought it might be a Hege German and looking at pictures it could be. Would appreciate any help.

Cheers,Homegrownsnob
