The way the article describes his actions it seems strange that he would have been part of the plot, after all, he was in prison beforehand. Was he perhaps due to be released if the Nazis were overthrown, and given a leadership position? [[User:Historian932|Historian932]] ([[User talk:Historian932|talk]]) 14:50, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

== Article lacks citations, and does not present objective description of campaign in Crimea ==

There are no citations for any of the sections describing events in World War II. Moreover, much of the description contains romanticized exagerration not appropriate to Wikipedia. Not least, it seems extremely unlikely that it was ever 30 degrees below zero in the southern peninsula of Crimea, and I can find no corroboration for this claim.

I thought Wilhelm Sponneck was unsalvageable, and deleted it, but Hans Graf von Sponeck had more original content. I think I've removed all the plagarized material, but I'd appreciate if someone would double-check for me. – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 20:56, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It certainly is no longer a copyvio, but still very hagiographic. Anything onwards from "Eastern campaign" needs to be mercilessly pruned down. And the extlink should be given as a source, unless we find better sources. Lupo 13:13, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Please note Theodor von Sponeck (General-Leutanant) was a 1st COUSIN to General Hans Emile Otto von Sponeck and not Brother! Also, all info on this page comes from his biography "Das Exempel - Graf Sponeck - Ein Beitrag zum Thema Hitler und die Generale" by biographer, Col.Baron Eberhard Einbeck published by Carl Schuenemann verlag - Bremen 1970.
