[edit] War Crimes

Hello, I edited the War Crimes section due to incorrect generalization and insufficient sources. Kenaz9 16:15, 10 May 2006 (UTC)


There is no reference on the information on War Crimes. According to the investigation by the US military in 1949, the events did not take place in the mentioned locatilies during the stated dates!! IT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED!! D.RAY USAF


The War crimes section needs to be edited!! Insufficient sources!!

I have removed the previous template and added a more appropriate one to the War Crimes section to reflect these concerns. Please be more careful in the use of templates so as not to deface the format of the article. NeoFreak 12:34, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Actually the current template probably isn't the right one. {{citecheck}} is for properly cited material that misrepresents its source (such as quotes taken out of context). Please check Wikipedia:Cleanup resources for something that better fits the current situation. Durova 08:11, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

There is a source there just seems to be some dispute over wether or not it is sufficent or accurate for the claims in the War Crimes section. It seems to be the "most" correct template but if you think another to be more appropriate then by all means, suggest it. NeoFreak 09:19, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
In that case it looks as if you do have the right template. I conducted a review of pages that links to this template and found that many of them actually needed some other template (which I replaced where the matter was clear). Wish I had a better source for this article, but it's well outside my expertise. Durova 15:15, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
Can someone explain what the war crime part says to me please? It seems to say that a Kraut went into a house then stupidly got himself shot. Why were there reprisals?? It makes no sense.
