... that 49% of German military losses happened in the last 10 months of the war in Europe?

Comment The hook is factually in error. The casualties were incurred in the last 10 months of the war in Europe (July 1944-may 1945), not the last 10 months of World War II (November 1944-August 1945). The difference is very significant. Also, you might want to have a look at Wikipedia:Notability (books) and see if you can establish a notability claim before someone nominates it for AfD. Hawkeye7 (talk)

Sorry, I obviously misread it, easy enough to change of course. Why would you thin it is not notable? It has gotten reviews in major news outlets worldwide? The Last Angry Man (talk) 21:48, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

I just looked at the notability guideline for books, it passes on both 1 and 5 The Last Angry Man (talk) 21:52, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
