For subnormal subgroups A / B and C / D of a given group G, the factor B/A will be called subnormally down-and-up projective to D/C, if there are subnormal subgroups X /Y such that AY = B, A∩Y = X , CY = D and C∩Y = X . Clearly, B/A ∼= D/C in this case. As G. Grätzer and J.B. Nation [6] have just pointed out, the standard proof of the classical Jordan-Hölder theorem yields somewhat more than wi...
