Errors[edit]

This article contains numerous errors. First of all, Reiter wasn't convicted of war crimes, he didn't conduct medical experiments by himself, he didn't write the book Deutsches Gold, Gesundes Leben, but edited it, he wasn't a member of the SS (but of the SA), he didn't sign "an oath of allegiance to Hitler" in 1932, but represented th Nazi Party in the state parliament of Mecklenburg, he became director of the Mecklenburg department of health as early as 1926, and so forth. I wil rewrite this piece, providing proper references, but that will take some time. Until then I will mark the information as misleading.--Assayer (talk) 19:19, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I did remove the bit about him being convicted of war crimes since I did find some articles consistent with this in my own review. I haven't looked into the bits about the book or whether he was a member of the SS or SA yet. I did find some publications supporting the idea that he swore an oath to Hitler so that part might stay.

Also, Hans Reiter is listed as an author in many sources for the book you mentioned. TylerDurden8823 (talk) 04:48, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Vaccine[edit]

Why is "experimental" put in quotes in reference to the typhus vaccine mentioned in this article? Either it was experimental, in which case it shouldn't have quotes around it, or it was only used under a facade of experimentality, and it shouldn't be in quotes. If the previous writer meant to imply that the vaccine wasn't a functional vaccine, and Reiter knew that, then "vaccine" should be in quotes, not "experimental". Either way, in-article explanation is sorely needed on that front, and as of now, I'm deleting the quotes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.159.138.88 (talk) 11:54, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
