Talk:List of Axis war criminals
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Alleged Poles
The alleged Poles were either born in Germany before the 1918 and emigrated after creation of Poland or - if Silesians, Polish citizens - they changed their citizenship during WWII. I doubt very much that any person mentioned in this article was really Polish.
- Oswald Kaduk - SS member, Poles weren't accepted
- Paul Szczurek - see above
- Arthur Liebehenschel - SS member since 1934, rather not in Poland
- Stefan Baretzki, born in Chernivtsi

[edit] This article has a lot of problems
Does it really need to exist? This article is just too incomplete. Too many red names (no wikipedia article/unsourced/unverified). It cannot be made right without removing whole swathes of the article (rendering it useless). Having an unverified list like this (with red names) is fairly useless and potentially a problem with vandalism/libel. Also people acquitted (found NOT guilty) are NOT criminals, why are they listed with criminals. This article needs a new title. "List of Axis war trials defendants" ? sounds clunky --Eqdoktor 19:12, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Flags
The article uses current German and Austrian flags to mark the criminals' nationality. This seems to be a bit problematic as these persons were acting in behalf of the Third Reich, not the Federal republic of Germany or the Republic of Austria (though some became citizens of these post-war states). The correct flag for the Austrian and German war crimininals therefore seems to be this one: Image:Flag of Germany 1933.svg. --Proofreader 17:12, 24 January 2007 (UTC) dmx
