[edit] German crimes against ethnic Poles
The crimes were committed by German government. It's not important if the government was Nazi or Conservative.Xx236 07:36, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
Then you'd have to expand this article into 1000 years of history. --HanzoHattori 14:56, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
So let's make it German crimes against ethnic Poles during WWII.Xx236 07:54, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Crimes against ethnic Poles under the Nazi occupation"?
Better title (there were also "usual" Nazi war crimes - indiscriminate bombardemnts, killings and torture of prisoners of war, etc.) --HanzoHattori 14:07, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
I support partially, but there was no "Nazi occupation", but the German one. Xx236 08:14, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Nope. "German occupation" (military) was also, for example, during the WWI (let's say in then-Russia). "Nazi" is so simple and hard to mistake. --HanzoHattori 10:23, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with HanzoHattori, and further suggest that "crimes" be changed to "atrocities" or something else. In English "Crimes" includes petty illegalities.Bwood 14:44, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] removal of link to article "Holocaust in Poland"
I took a quick look at the article in question and didn't see anything "questionable" about it. Regardless, if there were, the place to address it would be at *that* article, not in removing links to it. There may be arguements for merging or integrating the two articles...Bwood 21:24, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Wsaw-exec.jpg
Image:Wsaw-exec.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] ?? three million non-Jewish Polish citizens perished during the course of the war.
Re >>some three million non-Jewish Polish citizens perished during the course of the war. Over two million were ethnic Poles ( the remaining million were mainly ethnic minority Ukrainians and Belarusians living in Poland).<<
The figures above are at variance with the web site referenced as a source http://www.projectinposterum.org/docs/poland_WWII_casualties.htm
From bottom of that website:
>>Poland's WWII population losses ... Ethnic Poles: 2.0 (ie NOT over two million) and Other minorities: 0.5 (ie NOT one million)<<
So total of Polish citizens non-Jewish deaths World War II per website is 2.5 million NOT 3 million.
Per the same website: of the 2.5 million Polish non-Jewish citizens who died, 450,000 died at Soviet or Ukrainian nationalist hands, and 263,000 were non-Jewish military losses, so the Polish 1938 citizens civilian non-Jewish death toll at the hands of the Germans was circa 1.8 million.
ANY statement re Polish civilian death tolls should contain words similar to "Documentation remains fragmentary." Knowing what is not known is as essential as knowing what is known for any serious evaluation of historical events. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kits2 (talk • contribs) 22:29, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
