[edit] Capitalisation of German words

I have made an assumption in my recent edit of this page, namely that German ordinary nouns need not be capitalised, as in English. In the previous version of this article all instances of German words (which were then followed by translations to English) started with a capital letter, which I felt was unnecessary. If you speak and write (or are at least familiar with) German and feel I have made an incorrect assumption, please let me know by posting a note here or on my talk and making the necessary connections. Thanks. --Craig 09:03, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

I do speak German and, unlike in English, all nouns in German MUST begin with a capital letter. Therefore, I suggest reverting to the original document which used captials.

Many Thanks

Same for me, and I wholeheartedly agree. Have changed the nouns. Onlyemarie 22:18, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

This article makes some highly dubious and implausible claims. References should be provided.RKloti 23:16, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 900 underground stations bombed.

"The underground stations had been flooded and over 900 of them had been bombed." Are we sure that there were over 900 underground stations in Berlin ? --Lysy^talk 11:34, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lack of sources

This article uses just one source, and makes some radical claims. IN my other research i have found it extremely difficult to find any figures on the destruction of property yet this article states some pretty large numbers... i recommend whoever wrote it find some more reliable sources and that anyone who reads it doesnt take it all as gospel.

[edit] Term "Stunde null"

The site [1] is a schoolproject and not very scientific - As I criticize the term "Stunde null", this site also uses it without reflection. Therefore I ereased it. --Tobe H (talk) 09:05, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
