Recent edit[edit]

Preserving here by providing this link. Some of the content and sourcing was problematic, or outright erroneous, such as in these instances:

During the Red Army's rapid retreat, on 5–7 August 1941 the Waffen SS massacred as many as 11,000 Jewish men of Pińsk aged 16 to 60,[3] due to reports of Soviet guerrilla activity in the area.[4] -- Nazi conspiracy theories indeed connected Jews to the "partisan threat". However, the murder of Pinsk Jews in August had nothing to do with partisans, whether real or imagined. An aside: by the time these events occurred, the Wehrmacht had controlled the area since 4 July, and in any case, the source used does not make this connection.
Pinsk was part of Reichskommissariat Ukraine, not Reichskommissariat Ostland, so the mentions of Byelorussian Rada are out of place, as here: From 1941 to 1943 Pińsk was occupied by Nazi Germany, governed by the collaborationist Belarusian Central Council supported by the Nazi Belarusian battalions of the Home Defence.
The timeline was off; for example, the article stated: The relocation action took place on 1 May 1942. A Judenrat was formed..." In fact, the Judenrat was formed on 30 July 1941. Etc.
