Heinrich Prinz zu Sayn-Wittgenstein[edit]

Hi, the article is nearing completion. I still haven't fully decided yet how to present his controversial personality yet. Note: he was perceived as arrogant, driven by perfection presumably driven by his will to protect the civilian population from the bomb war. Ideas are welcome MisterBee1966 (talk) 19:33, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I did a copy edit to fix the "germanisms"...The section on "Death" was confusing, and I tried to fix, but I may not have managed it properly. I will not be offended if you revert it. :)

Re his personality. Certainly this needs to come into the article. Possibly start with his difficulty with the radio operators. If his colleagues thought he was arrogant and cocky, then possibly itis worth saying that. Needs examples, of course, and cites, but I'm sure you have the latter if not the former. The story re Hitler is interesting also. Auntieruth55 (talk) 00:24, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help, as always. I did revert some of your edits in the "Death" section. I failed to make it clear that I was writing about two separate days 20 January and 21 January. Some of your changes mixed these things in such a way that they gave the impression to have happened on the same day. MisterBee1966 (talk) 12:28, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AH~ I thought they did happen on the same day. Auntieruth55 (talk) 15:18, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I went back through the death and the part just above it. MUCH clearer now. I fixed a few phrases and simplified some of the sentences. You'll need to define Zahme Sau. (Tame pig? I don't get it). Also you have a link on Position lights that goes to a railway article. Landing lights? Auntieruth55 (talk) 15:34, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
