Talk:Adolf Hitler

Citation Badly Needed

4.3. The Holocaust

"Göring gave a written authorisation to Heydrich to "make all necessary preparations" for a "total solution of the Jewish question". To make for smoother cooperation in the implementation of this "Final Solution", the Wannsee conference was held on 20 January 1942, with fifteen senior officials participating (including Adolf Eichmann) and led by Reinhard Heydrich. The records of this meeting provide the clearest evidence of planning for the Holocaust. On 22 February, Hitler was recorded saying to his associates, "we shall regain our health only by eliminating the Jews"."

Needs citation or at least a [citation needed] at its end.

The actual german pronounciation of Adolf is ˈʔadɔlf

Length of lead

The lead runs to five paragraphs. MOS:LEAD is clear that four is the maximum. The potted history of WW2 arguably has far too much detail. Spicemix (talk) 14:37, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

I think the intro is fine as it is. Five paragraphs seems to divide into five themes quite nicely (overview/early years/rise to power/the war/the end). The events are so major, it's entitled to be quite long. The "four paragraph" rule is silly and arbitrary. It reads well as it is. It's the rest of the page which is far too long.

Mein Kampf/My Struggle

In the lead, I've changed <"My Struggle" (in German Mein Kampf)> to <Mein Kampf (in English "My Struggle")>. It is now consistent with the treatment, in the same section, of Lebensraum. Note that the English translation here is so unused that it does not even gain the italic status of a book title. Spicemix (talk) 14:41, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Poison Kitchen

Shouldn't this be removed from the see also... If the holocaust for example isn't linked there, then why should this article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.75.246.251 (talk) 20:15, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

1918, 1939-1941

Hitler might have been in the Red Army in Munich in 1918. He was allied with the same from 1939 to 1941. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.157.233.218 (talk) 15:12, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Not at all, he hated the Reds at the time, blaming them for many things. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.102.120.98 (talk) 16:50, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

I thought Adolf Hitler was in World War II not World War I Cafeolay2 (talk) 00:27, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

He was a minor officer in the German Army in WWI, and started WWII. That's about it. Hengist Pod (talk) 00:30, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
