Merger proposal[edit]

I propose that Krasnoye_Selo–Ropsha_Offensive be merged into Leningrad–Novgorod_Offensive. They are both talking about the same offensive near Leningrad. Neither of them is very complete at this point in time. Hopefully after a merger and some copyedit, it would be much better. D2306 (talk) 09:11, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why not, just go ahead. --Jaan Pärn (talk) 09:49, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That is not right. The Leningrad-Novgorod offensive have a much larger scale than this. In Leningrad-Novgorod offensive, the scale is very big like this, meanwhile the Krasnoye Selo–Ropsha Offensive's scale is just a small fraction in the north. Krasnoye Selo–Ropsha Offensive is one part of the Leningrad-Novgorod offensive and thus these two are not identical. Second, please have a look at ru wikipedia and see how they write this offensive. You can see that this article can be stand alone and need not to be merged. 123.21.190.109 (talk) 13:30, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Kuechler's fate.[edit]

The article does not mention that von Kuechler ordered a general withdrawal to the part of the Panther Line than ran along the course of the Luga River on January 28th, without securing Hitler's permission first, and that Hitler dismissed him from command of Army Group North as a result either on the 30th or the next day (sources differ), appointing the "politically reliable" Walther Model in his stead. See Messinger, Historical Atlas of World War Two, p. 164 (ISBN 0-02-584391-5), as well as the references given in the Wikipedia article on Kuechler himself.

These are significant details regarding the outcome of the battle, and are pretty widely known among even casual historians; and consideration should be given to including them for those unfamiliar with the subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.77.220.11 (talk) 17:55, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
