Majdanek

[edit]

Our article on Majdanek lists him as commandant of that camp from 1943–44, before his 1945 position at Dachau. Holding off on adding it to this article until I find a source though. --Delirium (talk) 03:13, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just FYI: The .de wiki cites the following source (which I've completed as a courtesy ;-) for a statement re: Weiss and Majdanek: Marszalek, Józef (1982), Majdanek. Geschichte und Wirklichkeit des Vernichtungslagers, Reinbek: Rowohlt, pp. 138–144, ISBN 3-499-17494-4.
Note that Weiss became Kommandant at Lublin-Majdanek on 4. November 1943, not September as the Majdanek article states. (Also, he was there *after* his time in Dachau). The massacre of the 17.000 occurred on 3. November, under Hermann Florstedt.

So was he commandant of Dachau twice? Once before Majdanek and once, for just a few days, after? Was he commandant of Majdanek only once? Kendall-K1 (talk) 12:53, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, he was commander of Dachau from 1.9.1942-31.10.1943 and then from 1.11.1944 he was at Dachau outside commando Mühldorf.See article in dewiki.Regards--Buchbibliothek (talk) 14:18, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes but the main article on Dachau c.c. states that MW was commandander from 3 January 1942 – 30 September 1943), so how is this to be reconciled?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Retal (talkcontribs) 20:56, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
By finding a reliable source that gives the dates. You might find one in the German version of this article. Kendall-K1 (talk) 01:26, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
