5x expanded by Piotrus (talk). Self-nominated at 02:13, 15 July 2020 (UTC).[reply]

The article has been expanded enough in time. I assume good faith on the references that I can't read. Both hooks are reliably cited and interesting. A QPQ has been completed. Either hook is fine. I'm amazed that the article was originally tagged as being likely non-notable. SL93 (talk) 18:19, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

At least one of dog?

I Later, Pietrzykowski killed Höss' dog, a vicious animal that has been trained to attack Jewish prisoners, and killed at least one of them. Pietrzykowski successfully lured and killed the beast, which they later cooked and ate with other prisoners.[6] He was also involved in other resistance activities, such as passing information or sabotaging labor activities.[6]

At least one of one dog? What? PeepleLikeYou (talk) 03:09, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

At least one of the Jewish prisoners, obviously... ping User:Nihil novi? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:17, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Later Pietrzykowski killed Höss' dog, a vicious animal that had been trained to attack Jewish prisoners and had killed at least one of them."

I think that is what was meant.

Any other questions?

Thanks.
