It would be useful to know the dates the books were published, if anyone has that info.Michael Dorosh 05:22, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

In the back cover of Plotting Hitler's Death, it say Joachim was "drafted" when he was 15, not 18, as it says in this article. I don't know which age is the right one.--204.60.103.130 00:33, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't say that in my edition of Plotting Hitler's Death. He was born in 1926 so he was 15 in 1941 and 18 in 1944. All the biographical articles I've seen say he served only in the last months of the war. Further, 15yos were not being drafted in 1941. In fact I don't think 15yos per se were ever drafted. In 1945, in some places, HJ units were pressed into service regardless of age, but Fest was never in the HJ. Adam 00:51, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Works in German?

Are they really necessary here? The German article on Herr Fest, with much more comprehensive list of his works, is just one click away.--Barbatus 17:33, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
