Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Suggest alternate hook, below. Catrìona (talk) 04:32, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

  • ALT1: ... that Max Troll served five years in jail for betraying Communists to the Nazi secret police, but his former superiors evaded prosecution?
  • No, just adding a link isn't a significant change. Catrìona (talk) 09:55, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
  • @Catrìona: Another editor suggested that the original hook be included in our October 31 Halloween prep set. The hook suggestion reads:
  • ALT2: ... that between 1933 and 1936, a Troll betrayed hundreds of fellow communists to the Bavarian Political Police, a forerunner of the Gestapo?
  • The nominator has agreed to this, so I will go ahead and approve it. Foreign-language hook refs AGF and cited inline. ALT2 good to go for October 31. Yoninah (talk) 13:43, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
