This is a hook about a German topic. I am therefore comfortable with sandwiching this between two US hooks.

• Review Good to go! Meets core policies and guidelines, and in particular: is neutral; cites sources with inline citations; is free of close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism. DYK nomination was timely—promoted to a WP:GA— and article is extravagantly long enough. Every paragraph is cited. Hook references are verified and cited. No copyright violations or too close paraphrasing. Earwig's copy violation detector report gives it a clean bill. Both hooks are sourced and relate directly to the essence of the article. Although the hook is wonky, it is decently neutral, and appropriately cited. QPQ done. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:04, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
