Important names in are listed 'Principal agents and officers'. The structure of Gestapo should be rather described in the text.Xx236 (talk) 13:51, 23 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
Operations in Nazi-occupied territories - the occupations were complicated, eg. the Netherlands was administered by civilians, Belgium militarly. Xx236 (talk) 12:42, 30 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
Besides some minor copy editing, the subject matter has been addressed, thanks to Obenritter. And he was correct your tag was not the appropriate one that you originally posted. Kierzek (talk) 12:47, 2 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
There is a long way between 'adressing' and creating an ecyclopedic description, which has not been done yet.
I do not care if my tag was appropriate or unappropriate. Radical bias of this article was highly unappropriate and I have criticized it, even if everyone was happy with the bias. 'Population ratios, methods and effectiveness' is still about 'German society'. Nacht und Nebel is not even linked here. Xx236 (talk) 08:20, 10 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
As far as English speaking historians are concerned and most of Europe, Czechoslovakia existed as a sovereign state from October 1918, at which time it declared independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It remained as such until its 1993 split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. YES -- the text is correct as written.--Obenritter (talk) 22:59, 11 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
The second phrase "From 1939 to 1945, following its forced division and partial incorporation into Nazi Germany, the state did not de facto exist but its government-in-exile continued to operate." The Gestapo acted according to German opinion, not 'in Czechoslovakia'. Slovak Republic (1939–1945)Xx236 (talk) 12:01, 1 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
You do realize that your argument legitimizes the opinion of the Nazis. The actual government (geographically de facto did not exist) although it operated elsewhere. As far as the rest of the world was concerned, it was still Czechoslovakia...unless of course, you prefer the Nazi stance on the matter. Please clarify what your point is precisely and how you think it needs to be rewritten with an academic source fully substantiating the change.--Obenritter (talk) 16:55, 1 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
that ignores the political realities - yes, Czechoslovakia was brutally invaded and that was terrible, but technically, under occupation it ceased to exist as a state - as virtually all English-speaking historians describe ...HammerFilmFan (talk) 18:21, 26 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Preserving here by providing this diff. I've replaced the lead image with the following rationale: "Calling out an (almost) humanitarian operation, the White Buses, in the infobox is an obfuscation". In addition, the term "White Busses" does not appear elsewhere in the article. --K.e.coffman (talk) 15:22, 2 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Yes, even the audio file attached to that transcription features the most common by far way of pronouncing it with S rather than with SH. Zgollum (talk) 18:11, 18 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
