Is "Paterborn" a misspelling of Paderborn? --Ponder 02:56, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

A check says that this is so. Changing the article to be Paderborn. --Cardozo 25 Mar 2005

Maybe it should be mentioned that after General Rose´s death his troops gathered 100 German POW´s and murdered them in revenge. A typical US war crime of that time.

your source kreis-paderborn.de (website of province paderborn) says the 100 mentioned were soldiers defending paderborns village "borchen". i don't think this was a war crime. and nobody knew that rose was jewish.. american side and german side didn't know this at the time.. for questions goto the Portal:USA in de.wiki: de:Portal:Vereinigte Staaten—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.61.44.74 (talk • contribs) 01:23, 12 February 2007 (UTC).

The article refers to the "Erschiessung" (erschiessen-to shoot dead) of these German soldiers. This term is never used for soldiers killed in combat. This as a side note.

The soldiers were lined up in front of a wall were the Americans machine gunned them.

Such act would qualify as a war crime, at least if Germans did it.. --145.253.238.10 12:03, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

The first link is dead (the site is some lawyer's personal page), and the second, which is merely a brief newspaper mention of a local lecture, appears to state that the link between the shooting of German POWs and the death of Rose was disproved. I can't find any reliable source for this story, so I am going to remove the reference from the main article. Djkuula (talk) 19:03, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
