This article is in great shape. A few comments from me:
- in the lead, suggest "was a subcamp of the Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp complex"
Done
- in the lead, add that the barracks had been used to house forced labourers before other parts of it were taken over for concentration camp prisoners, also link Forced labour under German rule during World War II
Done
- suggest "From 1942, parts of the barracks" and drop ", since 1942" from the end
Done
- as Sonderlager doesn't have an article, perhaps just translate it as (special camp)
Done
- was Mittelbau-Dora a system, or a complex?
- The words are used interchangeably in the Encyclopedia of Camps and Ghettos, but I've changed all references to "complex" to avoid confusion.
- specify that the SS you are referring to were the SS-TV, and state that they were responsible for the concentration camp system
Done
- were there only two garages in the barracks, or should this read without the "the"?
- do we know what companies ran the underground factories the prisoners were forced to work in?
- Mittelwerk Gmbh, which does not have a separate article from the tunnels
- link the two ranks
Done
- the ill templates aren't very useful, I would leave these names as redlinks and/or create stubs for them (not a GA requirement).
- Personally, I like ills and find them helpful, so I'll leave them in.
- suggest "at the Dora camp" a couple of instances of this
- I did this at the first instance. I'm not sure it's not necessary at the others, since it's stated multiple time that Dora is part of the Mittelbau camp complex.
- link Auschwitz concentration camp
Not done—already linked in previous paragraph
- replace "Boelcke's barracks" with Boelcke-Kaserne (a couple of instances of this)
- suggest "evacuated from the barracks"
Done
- I think the point that the camp included forced labourers that could no longer work as well as concentration camp prisoners should be made in the History section
Done
- using "the barracks" is insufficiently precise, as there were others types of camps within the barracks, suggest using "the subcamp" as a generic term, or "the Boelcke-Kaserne camp"
- "the death barracks" isn't encyclopaedic, just use "the Boelcke-Kaserne camp"
- link tuberculosis
Done
- in the note, what or who is Wagner? A historian?
- link Air raid shelter
Done
- in what way was the doctor responsible for the inhuman conditions? Surely the commandant was in charge? Perhaps he did not advocate for the health of the prisoners, or something like that?
- That's what the source says:
...the SS scarcely entered the camp. This also applied to SS- Obersturmführer Dr. Heinrich Schmidt, who was the camp doctor for a few weeks. His presence is most noted for his inactivity. The catastrophic conditions in the Boelcke-Kaserne subcamp can largely be attributed to him.
- That's what the source says:
- I think note c should be included in the body
Done
- re: "Russians, Frenchmen, and Hungarian Jews" is this meant to mean Russian Jews, French Jews and Hungarian Jews? Should it be Russian, French, and Hungarian Jews?
- The Russians and Frenchmen were not Jews, according to the source.
- suggest putting all four images in the gallery on one line
Done
- "or died
laterafter the air raid"?
Done
- what trials were Josten and Kestel tried at?
- what was the outcome of Schmidt's first trial?
- hyphenate the isbn's
Done
- provide locations for all the sources
Done, except for the Neufeld for which I could not find a location
- the image licensing looks fine
That's me done. Great job with this article, it is important that en WP has articles on these subjects. Placing on hold for the above to be addressed. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:38, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

- Just a suggestion. If you are interested in nominating this to become a Featured Article eventually, you might consider nominating it for Military history A-Class review as the next step. It will make sure it is close to the mark before you go to FAC. The instructions are at WP:MHR. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 03:58, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
