[edit] FRG/DDR clarification needed?

Some of this perhaps needs to be sorted by which former Germany did what, I think. I don't know but if I were wagering I'd be betting that the TV show in 1969 was on DDR television, not Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) tv... ++Lar: t/c 22:22, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Well you would lose your wager. [1] Adam 06:58, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Cool. Still needs clarification in the article though. ++Larbot - run by User:Lar - t/c 12:12, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Date Of Death

Both the article and the first reference (in fact, all Wikipedia pages in English and German that I've checked so far) state that Reichpietsch and Köbis were executed on september 5, 1917. However, the accompanying poster photograph (which is an image from 1918) says of both men (translated) "shot to death on september 7, 1917". Which is the correct date? Vampyre - t/c 13:48, 29 December 2006 (GMT+1)

Since the poster is of unknown origin, I am inclined to stick to the date given in the German Wikipedia, which is the source of this article. Adam 04:37, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] collapse of german monarchy

... the antiwar and socialist mutinies in the Navy in 1918, which led to the collapse of the German monarchy.

Was that collapse not a consequence of WW1 itself? 67.117.130.181 16:28, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

... which in turn was a consequence of various other things - in history everything is a consequence of everything that preceded it. But the immediate cause of the abdication of the Kaiser was the fear of a total collapse of discipline in the armed forces, which would have led to the dissolution of the state and a communist takeover. This fear was triggered by the naval mutinies. Adam 04:36, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Interesting, thanks. I guess that would be Wilhelmshaven mutiny which should be mentioned in the article. I'd do that myself but I'm not sure exactly how to work it in. That article about the mutiny should also be expanded as it seems like an important incident. 67.117.130.181 02:19, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't think this modest article should be allowed to drift too far from its topic, but the phrase "naval mutinies" could be linked to Wilhelmshaven mutiny thus naval mutimies. Adam 09:44, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
