Talk:Povilas Plechavičius

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is part of WikiProject Fascism, an attempt to better organize and unify articles relating to the fascist ideology, its impact on history and present-day organisations closely linked to both of these (ideology and history). See project page, and discussion. This article may be listed on an index of fascist movements or people. Such listing may be controversial; feel free to contribute to discussions there. The presence of this Talk page-only template only implies that the subject is of interest to the associated WikiProject.

Does anyone know any sources for him leading the Schutzmannschaft? Or otherwise being a fascist (rather than, say, an anti-Soviet Lithuanian nationalist). Thanks. heqs 11:32, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

• If you read the disclaimer on the template, it says that it does not mean Plechavicius was a fascist, it just means that WikiProject is interested in the article for some reason. Renata 13:02, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

I know, but he is listed as one elsewhere around the pedia, and some articles say he led the Schutzmannschaft. I'm just looking for some good sources about him. heqs 15:56, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removing vandalism

Please forgive me if some of the relevant information dissapeared from the article due to removal of multiple layers of vandalism. Sigitas 15:42, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I noticed you reverted edits by 71.99.x.x as vandalism, but much of it was truthful... perhaps we should try to verify some of the facts first.

Just one example is this line: "General Plechavicius then addressed the nation over the radio, asking all volunteers to "head for the forest".

I'm 95% sure this is true, and I have references -- just not with me at the moment. I will get back to this as soon as I can. heqs 15:43, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Maybe this is true, but it was not referenced, and as such it was not very valuable info. Sigitas 15:56, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

If true, it's crucial in that it's sometimes given much of the credit for initiating the forest brothers resistance in Lithuania from 1944 on. heqs 16:15, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Added refs for the disbandment, but the part about it being a radio address I can't verify. heqs 15:29, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
