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)
[edit] number of germans playing hitler films
I changed it to read 'third'. In the Downfall (film) article I changed it to read 'fourth german playing hiter' because in that article it does not mention "feature" films. I dont think Hitler - ein Film aus Deutschland was such a film and more an art house movie but it was definately a German production. See imdb credits. There have been actually more than this figure of German productions showing Hitler and/or with Germans playing Hitler. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.29.231.97 (talk) 09:48, 16 March 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Hitler, eine Karriere
This article does not describe Fest collaborating to make the film Hitler, eine Karriere by Herrendoerfer. At that time Wenders also criticized Fest for helping to whitewash and for projecting his strange theories onto a wider audience. In fact, criticism of Fest is not represented here at all. Either for his attempt to make an equality between German and suffering of Jews, or for helping rehabilitate Speer. But on googling a little I discover that the article borrows heavily from a sympathetic obituary from the Guardian newspaper [1]. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.29.231.97 (talk) 10:05, 16 March 2007 (UTC).
