MS Sinfra[edit]
- ... that when the cargo ship Sinfra was bombed by Allied aircraft in 1943, the German guards machine-gunned the thousands of Italian prisoners on board when they tried to escape the sinking vessel?
5x expanded by Manxruler (talk). Nominated by Manxruler (talk) at 17:15, 22 August 2015 (UTC).
- Flattered as I am to be co-nominated, my contribution amounts to ¾ of a paragraph, so I'm withdrawing my name from this nom. Manxruler has put in all the hard work. Mjroots (talk) 09:02, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
The length and date of expansion check out fine. The hook is interesting, if morose, and appropriately cited inline in the article. The sources are in German, but a combination of my shoddy German and Google's translation confirms it is talking about the same thing at least! No significant checks can be carried out for copyvio or close para-phrasing for similar reasons, so I am happy to AGF. Harrias talk 12:16, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
