A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on January 30, 2005 and January 30, 2006.

This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

"The 50 most-viewed Wikipedia articles in 2009 and 2008". The Daily Telegraph. August 17, 2009.

Suggestion for fixing a simple typo...

The word "had" appears twice in a gramatically incorrect way in the following sentence:

"Hitler, for his part, was to use the words of an aide, highly “furious” with the perception that he had been forced to back down by the Czechoslovak mobilization, and warnings from London and Paris, when he had in fact had been planning nothing for that weekend."

Suggested corrections:

"No man on earth has proved how evil the human mind can be, how much of a devil incarnation one can be than Hitler; he was evil to the bone" should be added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.107.27.67 (talk) 21:15, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Hitler, for his part, was to use the words of an aide, highly “furious” with the perception that he had been forced to back down by the Czechoslovak mobilization, and warnings from London and Paris, when he had in fact been planning nothing for that weekend."

or

"Hitler, for his part, was to use the words of an aide, highly “furious” with the perception that he had been forced to back down by the Czechoslovak mobilization, and warnings from London and Paris, when he in fact had been planning nothing for that weekend."

Nice catch, I was WP:BOLD and changed it. Ronabop (talk)

Adolf's Ancestry

It was quoted by Discovery Channel, that Adolf Hitler had Jewish Ancestory through one of his parents.

Correct spelling in sentence please?

"By 1940 however, it was public knowledge that Hitler had abandoned advocating for Germans even the syncretist idea of a positive Christianty."

That should be "Christianity." Thanks.70.182.224.139 (talk) 21:51, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Other victims

Many blacks from the Rhineland and the 'rhineland bastards' as they were termed by the Nazi state were sterilized under Nazi rule.

How come they do not appear on the other victims section?

Sounds like nonsense, there were never many black people in the Rhineland. Its useless to ask you for sources, right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.206.61.239 (talk) 16:08, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Of course it's useless to ask Me for sources. I didn't write the article. ParasiteNetwork (talk) 19:59, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Asperger's Syndrome
