Unreliable sources

The article uses Kurt Meyer's memoirs and the division's unit history - neither is a reliable source per WP:MILMOS: these authors are former SS officers and their works have been shown to be revisionist apologia (see Waffen-SS historical revisionism). I'm going to tag the article with "unreliable sources" tag due to this. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:40, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you could challenge the specific info used from these books instead of a random accusation that a whole book or author is unreliable. Which claims in the wiki article I wrote do you challenge? Ruimteaapje (talk) 21:41, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
