Do this one tomorrow, also can you tell me which English you use here? Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 18:56, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

British English, I believe. --K.e.coffman (talk) 21:46, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like there are some little template issues in the article like this sentence Barbarossa Decree and the Commissar Order. He was sent[by whom?] or this one politicians and eventually for millions[quantify] of Americans.[citation needed]. I will continue if they are fixed. Cheers.

Sources

Ref 1, I do not think we should add the whole ref over there I believe if a page number is good enough.
In Megarge's source, "Polish troops and armed civiians were certain to" typo?

I've addressed the above points. In re: "Do we know his father's name?", "Which military district?" and which conspiracies, the source does not specify. K.e.coffman (talk) 19:49, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No OR.
"Lebendiges Museum Online" add a languages=German in the source.
Citino, Robert --> Citino, Robert M.
Some ISBNs have more than one hyphen others have only one hyphen maybe standardise them all.
Add languages=German in Hartmann's source and translate the title.
Megargee's book hasn't a location?
Try not to overlink the publishers and writters like both Cambridge and Kansas universities and Stahel, David.

Looks good to me.

I just finished the review, I'll set it on hold. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 08:40, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've addressed the remaining points. I'm not sure about "Remove all the seasons" -- that's what the sources say. The events are taking place in Europe; I don't think anyone would get confused. Hartmann's book is not available in English and I don't feel comfortable offering my translation. --K.e.coffman (talk) 01:48, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's why I reckoned you to try to avoid it I think I can pass it. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 11:05, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
