Talk:Wilhelm Groener

Untitled

There are some factual inaccuracies in this article in its current form, although the general contents are consistent with Groener's signficance. For example, Groener did not have a field command in the Ukraine, he was Chief of Staff in the Army Group Eichhorn. Admittedly, this position had important command functions under the Prussian-German system of dual command, where the commander and the chief of staff shared responsibility. Also, Groener did not succeed Hindenburg as Chief of the General Staff; he was Hindenburg's First General Quartermaster, and he resigned this post at the same time that Hindenburg stepped down. On the other hand, his position under Hindenburg gave him effective operational control over the German army. Some of these inaccuracies might stem from Wheeler-Bennett's book. mrs 13:51, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Also, Groener was acting interior minister.mrs 13:53, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Added MRS's changes

I made the corrections Dr. Stoneman suggested. I considered mentioning that, while Groener certainly wanted to take action against the SA, his desire to keep a lid on things for Chancellor Bruening and the double-dealing of his protege, Schleicher, meant that he was long seen as the _obstacle_ to effective action against the SA. However, unless one did a big info-dump about the prevailing political crises it would be a little unclear, and he was quite anti-Nazi, so perhaps it's alright as-is. 142.167.161.66 (talk) 16:04, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

More inline citations tag

I untagged it because if this article warrants it so do 95% of all WP pages. Note that when I worked on this I usually just put one footnote at the end of the paragraph when all the material came from that one source. As far as I can tell all the material in here is now sourced - there is one paragraph which lacks a footnote, the one relating to the Ebert-Groener Pact...but that has its own sourced article. All these other refs listed under references did not really contribute anything to the page as it stands today (they may be a left-over from the original German translation of the page).Drow69 (talk) 16:11, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
