Unreliable source[edit]

The book by Patrick Agte was tagged as "unreliable source" by User:K.e.coffman without any explanation or comment. A detailed justification for this tag is required, otherwise I will remove it. Sapphorain (talk) 09:15, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agte was discussed on the Reliable Sources Noticeboard: Agte I and Agte II, and also in more detail on Jochen Peiper's article Talk page with additional down votes. The conclusion was that Agte is non a WP:RS source. The discussion centered on his book on Peiper; but I believe the same applies to his book on Whittmann and the claims of 'single handedly stopped a Russian tank'. The fact that Wolff was decorated is not in question, as various records exist. The wording around the tank attack is what's questionable. K.e.coffman (talk) 16:47, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Another Nazi hagiography[edit]

What is it with some Wikipedians' obsession with Nazi military careers and their subsequent hagiographies? :/ Yes, I'm sure Wolff served with distinction, stopped the tanks of the barbaric Soviets using only his fists, and once destroyed an enemy battalion by farting in their general direction. Yes, I'm sure he was a flawless military leader and tactician. Still, he was a despicable person who served in one of the most horrific and genocidal regimes of the 20th century, and specifically in the SS, one of its most horrifying institutions, let's not forget that... 190.194.223.134 (talk) 12:46, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

Does not meet WP:SOLDIER & sig RS coverage not found: link. Agte, Lehman, etc are non RS and the rest are passing mentions.
