Die Angaben über die deutsche Verwaltungsgliederung der Ukraine, soweit sie den Generalbezirk Nikolayewsk betreffen, sind unzutreffend (wrong). N., eine Kleinstadt 200km nördlich Wolgograd am linken, östlichen Ufer der Wolga, liegt weit von der Ukraine entfernt in Russland (früher Russische Sowjetrepublik.), Ich vermute, hier ist die Großstadt Nikolajew mit der Kleinstadt Nikolayewsk verwechselt worden. Nikolajew liegt auf dem linken, östlichen Ufer des Südlichen Bug, also außerhalb am Rande des rumänischen Interessengebietes, 20km oberhalb des Dnjepr-Bug-Liman, der gemeinsamen Mündung der beiden Flüsse in das Schwarze Meer.

Sorry, don't speak German. As this is the English Wiki, could someone that the following on line translation is correct:
The data concerning the German administrative arrangement of the Ukraine, as far as they concern the general district Nikolayewsk, are unfounded (wrong). N., a town 200km north Wolgograd on the left, eastern bank of the Volga, lies far far away from the Ukraine in Russia (in former times Russian Soviet republic), I assumes, here the large city Nikolajew with the town Nikolayewsk was confounded. Nikolajew is appropriate for southern nose, thus outside at the edge of the Romanian sphere of interest, on the left, eastern bank 20km above the Dnjepr nose Liman, the common delta of the two rivers into the black sea.

Much like the article on reichscomisariat Ostland this article wildly exaggerates the SS' influence which afer april 41 became completely negligeble following the creation of Arbeitsberiechsost which gave the regional komissares absolute powers over all forces in their jurisdiction including much of the SS let alone the police. It is time that articles concerned with Nazi germany reflected advanced scholarship rather than misconceptions about the "mighty" SS popular in the 1950's. I refer specifically to Martin Dean's book Collaboration in the Holocaust the articles by Eric Haberer and, with some qulifications, the work done by Wendy Lower and last but least the long published (1973) book by Deitrich Orlow THe Nazi Party Organisation 1933-1945 and even earlier works by Pete Hutenberger which first demolished the silly myth of the mighty SS. I shall later correct this antiquated fallacies
