I will be working my way through the article and adding any queries where I see fit. Feel free to make corrections, or correct me as I go along.

Lead
  • "English: Bunker of Éperlecques", my understanding is if you anglify a foreign language, it alters the spelling. So surely it becomes 'Eperlecques', the 'accent aigu' is redundant?
  • "Kraftwerk Nord West (KNW) (Powerplant Northwest)", adjacent sets of parentheses are discouraged, per MOS:BRACKETS. I would suggest using a square bracket for 'Powerplant Northwest'.
  • 'Monument Historique', should this be in caps?
Background
  • "Speer gave orders that two bunkers were to be constructed by the Organisation Todt construction group to a "special fortification standard" (Sonderbaustärke) requiring a steel-reinforced concrete ceiling 5 metres (16 ft) thick and walls 3.5 metres (11 ft) thick.", place a comma between '(Sonderbaustärke)' and 'requiring'.
Design and location
  • "It was given the codename of Kraftwerk Nord West (KNW) (Northwest Power Plant).", bracket concern here. Perhaps you can fit "Northwest Power Plant" into the prose instead of it being in a bracket?
  • "At nearby Saint-Omer there", bracket between 'Saint-Omer' and 'there'
Discovery, destruction and abandonment
  • "...construction at Watten (wryly codenamed Concrete Lump) "for deception purposes", and the...", again perhaps you could remove the brackets and fit it into the prose, unless you feel it's just distracting information.
  • "the liquid-oxygen generators", liquid oxygen does not need to be hyphenated.
Air raids on the Watten site
  • The table needs rowscopes on the first row in order to comply with MOS:DTT.
  • I assume you mean column scopes? I've added them for the column headers, but as there are no row headers no rowscopes are needed. Prioryman (talk)
References
The ref is still dead. I have found an archive of the website, if you wish to use it. -- Lemonade51 (talk) 12:38, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well done, thanks! I've replaced the dead link with the archive link you found. I think that covers the last of the outstanding issues? Prioryman (talk) 22:08, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why does Ref 4 have a different date format to the rest?
  • Noticed YouTube video has been removed by the user.

On hold. Shall pass, very interesting read and great prose. -- Lemonade51 (talk) 22:12, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
