Why is Henry Tandey Incident in here?[edit]

If one happens (as I did) to skate over the "Although disputed" at the very beginning of this section, or should one happen to lose interest before the end (as I did), an incautious reader would easily believe this incident occurred. Placing most of the debunking information outside the reader's interest behind tedious discussion of how many phone lines were available at Tandey's house in Coventry allows the wide array of other "facts" to supposedly "speak for themselves," when the historical data to support the existence of said facts is highly disputed. Because this text is also reproduced in the article on Henry Tandey, (whose biographical noteworthiness appears to be somewhat as a result of this story, not the other way around), its inclusion here alongside facts about Hitler's military history seems like a waste of time. As such, I deleted it. -Nicko — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.212.57.200 (talk) 21:19, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Picture "c. 1921–1924"?[edit]

The main picture's caption states "c. 1921–1924". Seems unlikely this picture was taken so late – by that time Hitler was no longer a serving member of the Reichswehr. Is there a source on the date of the picture? אדי97 (talk) 12:45, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It definitely is not after 1921. The file description (in the commons) says 1921, however that is from the date of the issued weapons card it was on (over here). Since he is still wearing military uniform, him having left the army in 1920, the picture most likely has been made earlier. ...GELongstreet (talk) 14:22, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
