... that the Samoan branch of the Nazi Party derived much of its support from the mixed race residents of the Territory of Western Samoa?

ALT1: ... that in 1938 the Samoan branch of the Nazi Party made plans to seize power in the Territory of Western Samoa?

Hello Dumelow, I am reviewing your DYK nomination.

Article was written recently and meets DYK raw prose size requirement.

There is a QPQ. in Your Quid Pro Quo review, please note at Template:Did you know nominations/Andy Barat that they also need to complete a Quid Pro Quo.

Article is well written. Please do change formatting of the Flickr primary source used, the publisher isn't Flickr, rather it's the Adminstration/Police of Apia. Flickr is merely a webhost.

I personally find ALT2 hook the most punchy and precise. Specifying the years is important because this was before WW2 started, but still in formal days of Nazi rise to power. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 15:59, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi Shushugah, thanks for the review. Good spot on that ref, I have merged it into a single citation. I removed "Flickr" from that other ref. Let me know if there is anything else you would like me to do - Dumelow (talk) 06:37, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

this DYK is ready and nominator addressed all my concerns ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 22:53, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
