Confused

edit

The introduction confuses Nazi Germany, the German Empire, genocide, fighting bandits, terrorism and many other concepts. It should either be heavily edited or cut out altogether. Bandit-fighting is bandit-fighting, genocide is a different topic.203.80.61.102 (talk) 02:18, 22 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Not really, since there was considerable overlap between them, especially for Nazi Germany in the Soviet Union, where they were fighting a war of annihilation. Thus the distinction of military operations and mass murder was murky at best, since the perpetrators saw them as the same thing. 90.241.192.121 (talk) 14:02, 18 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Missing period 1939-1941

edit

This article treatment of WWII starts at 1941 and completely ignores German anti-partisan operations in Poland (as well as in other European countries). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:29, 25 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

To further clarify my edit summary [1], Waffen-SS burning a farmhouse during the 1943 battle of Kharkov may not be necessarily representative of Bandenbekämpfung. The battle was a conventional military campaign, vs Himmler/von dem Bach-directed Bandenbekämpfung operations, such as Operation Cottbus or Operation Zauberflöte. Waffen-SS committed their own atrocities during the battle, to be sure, but it was not under the doctrine under discussion. --K.e.coffman (talk) 20:23, 9 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Some online sources, please

edit

This article is difficult to verify, because its sources are all obscure print sources, and none of them are viewable online. Please add some online reliable sources Penlite (talk) 06:39, 26 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

First off, your statement that "none" of these sources are viewable online is patently false. At archive.org, one can find: Bartov, Omer (1991). Hitler's Army: Soldiers, Nazis, and War in the Third Reich OR Hale, Christopher (2011). Hitler's Foreign Executioners: Europe's Dirty Secret. Nonetheless, the sources are widely available RS books, most all of which can easily be purchased on Amazon or other "online" venues. Not sure what else to tell you or what you are trying to imply by suggesting that this content needs additional verification. It has been edited by credentialed academics and laypersons alike without controversy. Also, hate to break it to you, but online articles on this macabre subject are not plentiful. --Obenritter (talk) 17:33, 26 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
