[edit] BMW Flugelrad

Pure fiction, presented as military history. Please delete ASAP. --Pjacobi 19:05, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

• Copyvio and marked as such. Re. the actual subject, you seem to be saying it's a hoax article, but it returns other Google hits, so I think this needs to be explained more clearly. Tyrenius 19:41, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete: I think the point Pjacobi is trying to get across is that the BMW Flugelrad itself is a hoax that is only accepted as fact by UFO conspiracy theorists. It's a little too rather "convenient" that the SS supposedly destroyed all the primary sources surrounding the design of this aircraft. Even if true, it would mean everyone writing about it since has been regurgitating hearsay. For that it fails WP:VERIFY and this article should never be allowed to be recreated. --  Netsnipe  CVU ^(Talk)  19:51, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

• Thanks. I'll go along with that (and below), unless anybody has got anything substantial to refute it. Tyrenius 02:03, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per this letter from BMW which states that the thing is an invention. (Posted on a site that isn't too happy with it, so no doubt about veracity.) ~ trialsanderrors 21:03, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
