Göth name changed

I'm not sure about the spelling of the name. Even German sources spell "Goeth", but his daughter is spelled "Göth", so I'll leave this at "Amon Goeth" for now. djmutex 13:04 10 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Interesting that the last name was changed. I have always used the proper German pronunciation when writing about Amon Leopold Göth for the last 14 years. But in English, it is spelled Goeth. So I assume that this change will remain as is.~Folklore777 08:39 5 April 2011 (UTC)

this is the ENGLISH language section of wikipedia and english-speakers generally don't use umlauts and don't have ready access to them on their keyboards. if we rule that all names should be spelled the way the original subjects would have written them, then we'd need to put Stalin under Сталин, Mao Zedong under 毛泽东, and Nehru under नेहरू --but these also don't lend themselves to english language-based search-typing.Cramyourspam (talk) 17:28, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Appears to be an issue from over a year ago. I don't think anyone is still protesting it. -OberRanks (talk) 20:18, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Image is wrong

The Picture as of 9/24/12 is of Bruno Gesche not Goeth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.236.234.132 (talk) 14:57, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Image Describ

I've changed the description of the Image:Gothwrifle.jpg to "Amon Göth on the balcony of his house at Plaszow in the summer of 1943" The previous description was "Amon Göth during sniper practice at Plaszow in the summer of 1943" and in the article the shooting practice is mentioned as sniping Jews from the balcony of his house depicted in the movie Schindler's List. However, Internet Movie Database says that "Amon Goeth did not shoot random prisoners from the balcony of his house. His house still stands, and the location of the camp is still known. The camp is on the other side of a hill, so Goeth could not have seen any prisoners from his balcony. However, Goeth did shoot prisoners at random from the top of the hill, and he did parade around his balcony with a rifle." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108052/goofs Jogers

Here's an article from the London Times dated January 27, 2005 that states that Goeth did shoot people from his balcony. Also the quote you reference stating otherwise does not appear on the page you have linked.--198.93.113.49 17:35, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

With all due respect it sounds like journalistic license in the article you cite: "Before breakfast he would stride on to the balcony of his villa overlooking Plaszow camp and shoot Jewish workers at random with his hunting rifle. Then he would return to bed to join his mistress — Frau Goeth’s mother.…"—Your post makes it sound like some kind of further research or evidence was uncovered (at least that was how I read it). (If there's one thing I've learned is that you should *not* get historical facts from journalists, who often do only the most cursory background searches before writing an article to meet editorial deadlines and have no personal knowledge of the subject.) Historian932 (talk) 00:57, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Place names

The English name of the city is Cracow, and the article seems to be in English. (The German name is Krakau.) Just like Warsaw, Moscow, etc., Poland (and not Polska) in English. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.21.159.190 (talk) 08:45, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

I was there last year and it was spelled Krakow in my guidebook (and everywhere else in English) Historian932 (talk) 00:46, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Other crimes

From the article:

although this grim portrayal (where, for shooting practice, he sniped Jews from the balcony of his house) showed only a subset of his crimes.

What were his other crimes? The article points out the Schindler's List fails to deal with them, but the article doesn't describe them either.--198.93.113.49 17:20, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Regarding Other Crimes

The article does fail to elucidate on "other crimes" but the indictment against Goeth by the Supreme National Tribunal of Poland in 1946 was crystal clear on what these crimes were:

"(1) The accused as commandant of the forced labour camp at Plaszow (Cracow) from 11th February, 1943, till 13th September, 1944, caused the death of about 8,000 inmates by ordering a large number of them to be exterminated.

(2) As a SS-Sturmführer the accused carried out on behalf of SS-Sturmbannführer Willi Haase the final closing down of the Cracow ghetto. This liquidation action which began on 13th March, 1943, deprived of freedom about 10,000 people who had been interned in the camp of Plaszow, and caused the death of about 2,000.

(3) As a SS-Hauptsturmführer the accused carried out on 3rd September, 1943, the closing down of the Tarnow ghetto. As a result of this action an unknown number of people perished, having been killed on the spot in Tarnow ; others died through asphyxiation during transport by rail or were exterminated in other camps, in particular at Auschwitz.

(4) Between September, 1943, and 3rd February, 1944, the accused closed down the forced labour camp at Szebnie near Jaslo by ordering the inmates to be murdered on the spot or deported to other camps, thus causing the death of several thousand persons.

(5) Simultaneously with the activities described under (1) to (4) the accused deprived the inmates of valuables, gold and money deposited by them, and appropriated those things. He also stole clothing, furniture and other movable property belonging to displaced or interned people, and sent them to Germany. The value of stolen goods and in particular of valuables reached many million zloties at the rate of exchange in force at the time. For those acts the accused was arrested by the German authorities on 13th September, 1944, but he was not brought before any German court. He was later extradited to Poland by the Allied authorities in Germany."

War Crimes

We have a user who is removing Amon Goth from the Nazi war criminals category, stating he was never convicted and therefore should not be listed. Amon Goth was convicted in 1946 of war crimes and crimes against humanity and sentenced to death. He was executed shortly thereafter. It is not POV that Goth was a war criminal, it is documented legal fact. -Husnock 13:43, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

You should add that he was "convicted" after a show trial in Communist Poland. So how credible is such a conviction, anyway?! With your logic one also should list those Germans that were executed for murdering Poles for Katyn as "war criminals".

Ich stimme überein. 147.153.251.188Babsi147.153.251.188 22:01, 23 August 2006 (UTC)16.00 Uhr 23.August 2006 (Mnt)

This does illustrate some of the complexities. In this particular case, he was both convicted and is nearly universally agreed to be guilty. Some of the others convicted by the Soviet-influenced Polish authorities are more disputed. In any case, the article currently nicely sidesteps the issue by giving a more specific and undisputable category, Category:Executed Nazi concentration camp personnel. --Delirium 03:32, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

As far as I know, there were no Germans executed for murdering Poles in Katyn. There are no serious doubts if sentences against German war criminals in Poland were credible. In 1946 there lived a great number of eyewitnesses and such persons, like Goeth or Hoess were universally known for their personal cruelty. Unfair show trials in Poland were directed against Poles - alleged spies, not against German war criminals. Moreover, in 1946 the country was still quite normal, stalinist repressions started in late 1940s. Pibwl ←« 21:44, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

In the second pararaph he is said to be convicted of killing tens of thousand animals, but later it is said to be people, was this a biased edit?74.104.100.174 (talk) 19:18, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Birthdate

Goeth's birthdate has been listed as Nov. 12 for over two years now, but this was a swap of the month and day numbers, according to SS records:

See "Name and birthdate issues" below, Jamie. -- JackofOz (talk) 00:05, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Execution

I've just watched the Isabelle Clarke's documentary La Traque des Nazis (The hunt for nazis); it includes footage of Amon Göth's execution. Two elements were noticeable:

-He had his arms tied behind his back and couldn't do the nazi salute;
-The execution butched the execution twice by miscalculating the length of the rope. Amon Göth died on the third try.

Following this evidence, I have thus deleted the mention of his performing the nazi salute at his execution. Scotchorama 22:38, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Wrong attribution. Goeth's hanging was never filmed.[1] — Poeticbent talk 18:47, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Name and birthdate issues

We call the article "Amon Göth", then start the lead para with: "Amon Leopold Göeth (or Goeth) ..." – with no mention of Göth. This seems to be a confusion. The letter –ö- is often written as –oe-, but never as –öe-. His legal name was Göth, and it's sometimes written as Goeth. No other versions are correct. I’ve made the changes.

Re the birthday: Jamie McCarthy’s post from February 2007 – which seems to have been totally ignored - seems to be on the money. Other websites also say it was 11 December, not 12 November. I’ll make that change too. -- JackofOz (talk) 00:05, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

daughter

" 2002, an interview book with Göth's daughter, Monika, was published in Germany under the name Ich muß doch meinen Vater lieben, oder? (But I must love my father, mustn't I?). For the first time, Göth's daughter spoke of her mother, who unconditionally glorified her father until faced with his role in the Holocaust, and had committed suicide after giving an interview in the 1980s.[3]"

This week I saw a moving documentary on arte where Monika (Göth's daughter) meets one of his victims (Helena, who was a slave worker at Göth's household)
here's the link: http://www.arte.tv/fr/semaine/244,broadcastingNum=893049,day=5,week=35,year=2008.html (french), http://www.arte.tv/de/woche/244,broadcastingNum=893049,day=5,week=35,year=2008.html (german)

A video with his execution

This site: [[2]] has the fiction and real execution of Amon Göth.Agre22 (talk) 14:24, 1 September 2008 (UTC)agre22

Wrong attribution. Goeth's hanging was never filmed.[3] — Poeticbent talk 18:47, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

• Yes, in fact, it was. His filmed execution by hanging was shown in the 2006 documentary Inheritance. The first two attempts failed. The third killed him. ExRat (talk) 02:39, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Link to/information on interview given by former mistress

The article cites an interview by his former mistress after which she took her own life…I looked online but couldn't find a transcript or link to it…does anyone else have one? (that could be posted, obviously) Historian932 (talk) 01:09, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

his real execution

Amon Goth's real execution was brutal and probably slow and painful and maybe that needs to be put in the article. Statesboropow (talk) 19:09, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

The only way to have that changed would be to provide a reliable source. JFW | T@lk 23:34, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

i had the video of it, but its been removed. Statesboropow (talk) 18:56, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Wrong attribution. Goeth's hanging was never filmed.[4] — Poeticbent talk 18:47, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

• Yes, in fact, it was. His filmed execution by hanging was shown in the 2006 documentary Inheritance. The first two attempts failed. The third killed him. ExRat (talk) 02:40, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Pronunciation

Before I add the IPA, can anyone confirm whether the ö in Göth is pronounced [øː] (as in Öl) or [œ] (as in göttlich)? Lfh (talk) 14:43, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Change "Hanging" to "Strangulation"?

Having seen the film of his execution, it was clear he wasn't "hanged" in the traditional sense, and most likely died not of a result of a broken neck but of suffocation as the result of strangulation. Perhaps the article should be altered to reflect the actual cause of death? Just an idea. 137.183.232.24 (talk) 15:46, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Wrong attribution. Goeth's hanging was never filmed.[5] — Poeticbent talk 18:47, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Again, yes, in fact, it was. His filmed execution by hanging was shown in the 2006 documentary Inheritance. The first two attempts failed. The third killed him. The same footage can be seen courtesy of WFDIF Archive, Warsaw, beginning at the 3:15 mark on this YouTube video: Execution of Amon Goeth. ExRat (talk) 02:48, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

I don't know all the details, but several sources have attributed the widely circulated video of his hanging to actually being the execution of another person. An official in the German Polish occupation, I'm not sure which one, but it is not Goeth. -OberRanks (talk) 14:45, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

New Picture is Awesome

Let us all guard that picture and forever have it in this article. Pictures of Goeth in uniform are extremely rare. Not even his offical SS record kept by Germans have him wearing a uniform. OUTSTANDING JOB to whoever found that photo! -OberRanks (talk) 01:24, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Military Photo

For one reason or another, someone felt the need to delete Amon Göth's military photo with no reason given. That photo has rights on Wiki commons and has it's copyrighted status clearly listed on the profile. I have an original copy so I was able to replace it. Please, if there is any misunderstanding or concern, before deciding to just delete the image, please put a reason on the discussion page first. ~ Folklore777 (talk) 04:33, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

I agree, I was very astonished that the photo got taken down. The "delete vote" consisted of the nominator posting the notice, one person commenting, and then the photo deleted without any further discussion. Clearly seems like a "rush job" to stop others involved in this article from investigating the photo and clarifying its copyright status. -OberRanks (talk) 15:19, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Deletion

The picture of Göth in his SS uniform appears to have been deleted without any discussion. The reason was "non-free image replaceable". To my knowledge, this was a very rare picture that was in fact NOT replaceable. Can we get the photo back? -OberRanks (talk) 12:47, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

I never saw a deletion notice posted. There should have been a discussion as to it, before removal. I see above where it went through that process before and was put back up. Kierzek (talk) 14:51, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

An un-delete discussion on the deletion review board may be in order. I do not think I should be the one to post it, as I have had dealings with the administrator who deleted the image in the past and a protest of a deletion may appear as possible "Sour grapes". -OberRanks (talk) 15:22, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Moved his "mug shot" to main. I have had no luck with photo discussions. Kierzek (talk) 15:59, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your support on the deletion Amon Leopold Göth's military photo from 1943. I received a personal note from a contributor of Wikipedia stating he was going to delete it a few days ago because it was a non-free media use photo. Please buy me some time, I have an original copy of the photo, I will get the proper licensing and have it back up as soon as possible. ~ Folklore777 (talk) 23:14, 16 September, 2011 (UTC)

That sounds great. Unfortunately, the deletion wasn't discussed here- perhaps we could have avoided the deletion to begin with. -OberRanks (talk) 19:02, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Thank you OberRanks so much for the support. I think there should have been a discussion posted before the deletion too. I do however have another military photo of Göth in 1941 from the Schutzstaffel that I do have the proper licensing for, but it is not in the same pristine condition as the other one I had posted. Would you like me to try to post the 1941 photo? I would love to hear opinions. ~ Folklore777 (talk) 17:30, 17 September, 2011 (UTC)

Pictures of him in SS uniform are very rare. We would be lucky to have such a photo posted. -OberRanks (talk) 21:53, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Agreed. Kierzek (talk) 01:54, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

The photo is posted. Hopefully there won't be any other issues. I will watch the page closely to make sure the picture meets the proper requirements. ~ Folklore777 (talk) 23:30, 17 September, 2011 (UTC)

Very impressive. A bit grainy around the eyes, but a rare find to be sure. -OberRanks (talk) 13:35, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

I do apologize for the condition of the picture, but the original photo I have of Göth in Lublin is just too damaged for me to post. This version is touched up and more visible. I hope this will do until I can get proper licensing for the 1943 photo. ~ Folklore777 (talk) 12:21, 18 September, 2011 (UTC)

Göth Military photo

Because of certain administrators on Wikimedia commons targeting the Göth photos, both of the Military photos I had posted are being deleted. Even though I have the proper licensing on these images, they are still an issue. Because this is the third time this has happened, I'm done posting the Military images. I apologize. I'm sorry, I can't continue to fight Martin H. on Wikimedia commons, for he is the one who keeps deleting the image, at least he is one responsible the last couple times. Apparently, because there is an unknown author to the Göth image, it can't be used on Wiki commons until 2014.~ Folklore777 (talk) 13:23, 28 December, 2011 (UTC)

I saved the photo and it will appear in a book I'm writing, if that makes you feel better. -OberRanks (talk) 19:11, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

I added the images, which according to their descriptors are now public domain, so the editor who deleted them is clearly wrong. 86.155.210.225 (talk) 08:23, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

The description material is incorrect, as the copyright for the image is owned by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The photo was taken by Raimund Titsch and sold to Leopold Pfefferberg in the 1960s. Pfefferberg donated the collection to the USHMM in the 1960s, and they are now the copyright holders. Another user claims that material was released unter OTRS ticket 2007071910012533, but an OTRS team member was unable to confirm that that was so. Since this is now a Good Article, we have to leave the image out, since it is not properly licensed. Sorry, -- Diannaa (talk) 14:07, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

That "another user" mentioned by Diannaa is called Poeticbent. I do not actually "claim" anything... Long before Diannaa, I already contacted the OTRS team about this. Here's what I was told by Theopolisme (quote in part):

I have looked at the ticket in question; yes, permission was granted for all the content added by USHMMwestheim to be reused, in whole or in part, on Wikipedia--in fact, it was originally created especially for this purpose. Please see for yourself.[6] — Poeticbent talk 17:13, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

What it says is that all content added to Wikipedia by User:USHMMwestheim has been released to Wikipedia under license. It does not say that the entire contents of the USHMM website have been released to Wikipedia under license. You seem to have taken offense at my use of the word "claim", and for that I apologise. -- Diannaa (talk) 18:48, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Theopolisme did not reveal the exact wording of the ticket; however, we do have a wp:good faith policy/guideline here allowing for a bit more leeway. Copyrights are my pet-peeve, and yet, I have no clue if the law can be twisted around so much as to suit only a sliver of usage by one volunteer. Poeticbent talk 19:48, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

The relevant portion of the email states, "He had authority to copy this content and license it under the Wikimedia conditions" (with "this content" referring only to his specific Wikipedia contributions, not the entire website contents), so Diannaa seems to be correct, unless there was a separate email thread which I was unable to locate that said something to the contrary. Theopolisme (talk) 20:47, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

This is not how copyright law works. Either the material is released, or it is not released. The USHMM people have no clue what they're doing, but we need to know better. A secret letter to us with a Jack O'Lantern for everybody else is not good enough for any GDFL claim. Poeticbent talk 21:33, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Thats all fine, I think to remove it. Another issue, somewhere in the re-write it got cut out that Goth had claimed promotion to Sturmbannfuhrer at the time of his capture by the Americans (not in his service record and not accepted as valid). Rudolf Hoss also backed up the claim in later testimony and mentions Goth's claim in his autobiography. This should be re-added to the article, maybe down in the rank history. -OberRanks (talk) 14:17, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

I remember that; I was unable to find a source for it so I took it out. Do you have access to the Hoss autobiography? Perhaps we could source it from that. -- Diannaa (talk) 15:22, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Its in the middle or so of this book. Hoess talks about Goeth being an "SS-Major" and that record keeping was very bad at the end of the war. I can get a page # if I have time to review my copy. -OberRanks (talk) 17:13, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Issue of mental illness

I had never heard of this before, I wonder what specific diagnosis he was given by the SS doctor (were there SS psychiatrists?). Also, did the Allies test him for mental illness, and if they did, what were their results? Did they have a policy on executing mentally ill war criminals? (Keep in mind not all war criminals were mentally ill by definition, that is a bogus moralistic judgment in my opinion, Eichmann for example was found sane by his Israeli psychiatrist.) Historian932 (talk) 00:33, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

The few source documents I've seen about this indicate he had some kind of a nervous breakdown and was sent to a sanitarium. Interestingly enough, Himmler did something similar, abandoning his Army Group Command and checking himself into some kind of convalescent home in 1945. -OberRanks (talk) 14:44, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Kalder

The full paragraph in German from Sachslehner (2008) available in Google Books only as a short snippet reads as follows. "Oskar Schindler ist auch daran Schuld, dass Göth irgendwann in diesem Frühjahr 1943 seine große Liebe Ruth Irene Kalder kennen lernt. Er hat den Direktor der „Emalia" zum Abendessen eingeladen und Schindler bringt sie als Begleiterin mit in das „Rote Haus". Ruth Irene Kalder, geboren 1918 , stammt aus dem oberschlesischen Gleiwitz (Gliwice). Ihr Vater, Parteimitglied, ist Besitzer einer Fahrschule. Sie hat in Essen eine Schauspielschule besucht und ein Diplom als Kosmetikerin erworben, während des Kriegs hat es sie nach Krakau verschlagen, wo sie als Sekretärin für die Wehrmacht arbeitet. Ihr geht der Ruf voraus, dass sie kleinen ..." [7] Kalder took some lessons in acting, but obtained a diploma of a beautician. — Poeticbent talk 18:47, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

The man's name should be spelled as he spelled it which is Göth

If he used an umlaut than Wikipedia should spell it with an umlaut. And if not, not. {71.22.47.232 (talk) 11:05, 26 April 2012 (UTC)}

this is the ENGLISH language section of wikipedia and english-speakers generally don't use umlauts and don't have ready access to them on their keyboards. if we rule that all names should be spelled the way the original subjects would have written them, then we'd need to put Stalin under Сталин, Mao Zedong under 毛泽东, and Nehru under नेहरू --but these also don't lend themselves to english language-based search-typing. Cramyourspam (talk) 15:16, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Look, you're mixing up two different things. It's a big difference if the name in its original language is written in a totally different script like Chinese or Cyrillic or if, like in this case, Latin letters with additions are used. We have many names here that use varios special letters from the Latin alphabet and against which no one has protested. I think the spelling of the name should be returned to Göth. See Nicolae Ceaușescu or Franz König or Slobodan Milošević. Yes, it's the Englisch language section of the Wikipedia but that shouldn't prevent us from spelling names CORRECTLY just because someone does not like umlauts. I think the article name should be reverted to Amon Göth because that's the right spelling. --Maxl (talk) 14:34, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

WP:NAME is the guiding principal. This was also discussed at length before with consensus to keep it as "Goeth". -OberRanks (talk) 16:08, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

I see no consensus so far since there was no real discussion about how to spell this name. It is still disputed, so there is no consensus. Anyway, as I said, most non-English names with special letters derived from the Latin alphabet are spelled that way in the Wikipedia. Maybe you'd better take into regard peoples's arguments instead of citing a non-extant consensus. --Maxl (talk) 16:28, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

I would agree that this page shows no current binding consensus. No reason not to revisit. There seems to be two different issues - the spelling and the use of the umlaut. Most WP biogs that I have seen go for accuracy in the subject's name, including diacritics. The above examples of Nicolae Ceaușescu or Franz König or Slobodan Milošević support this. Also Paco Peña, Adolfo Müller-Ury‎ and Czesław Miłosz. The markings can be copied and pasted from the rest of the article if the keyboard doesn't have it (as I just did). As to spelling, there are many academic texts that use both forms. Goeth and Göth (double hits for 'Goeth', which seems a bit odd). I'd see it's worth talking it through (civilly).Span (talk) 18:04, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

All German umlaut names are spelled as in German on en.wp. If German sources have Göth, then title should be Göth. Certainly WP:FULLNAME requires Göth in lead. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:20, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Totally agree, it should be Göth. Otherwise Hermann Göring article should also be changed, which makes no sense. The only exception I have run into is the ß (eszett) MisterBee1966 (talk) 16:52, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

I have no objections. -- Diannaa (talk) 00:15, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

I have gone ahead with the move. — Diannaa (talk) 02:36, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Footnotes / Apparatus for this Article

Could someone explain to me what is going on with the footnotes of this article? There are three sections: Notes, Citations, and References, all of which follow different formats. The "References" section looks very comprehensive, but it is a bulleted rather than numbered list. Have the footnotes in this section become dissociated from the citations in the body of the text? Amos Bitzan (talk) 15:11, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

The "Citations" section lists a short-form Harvard-style citation for each cite, and each of these is a clickable link to a work in the "References" section, which lists all the sources that were used to prepare this article. This system works great for articles that use the same sources to support many points in the article. Please see the documentation at Template:Sfn for more information. The "Notes" section is for explanatory notes; i.e. material that is a little off-topic for the flow of the article but should be included anyways. This article has one such note. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:09, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Adam Sztab

Helen Jonas-Rosenzweig has a completely different cause of the death of Adam Sztab to that which we depict in this article. I do not see how the two explanations can be reconciled. Can anyone resolve this contradiction? - Sitush (talk) 10:57, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

Crowe says (page 257): "According to Stella Muller-Madej, Goth murdered another of his dog handlers, Adam Sztab, because the commandant thought the dogs liked Sztab more than his owner." Either or both could be true. I've removed the material, at least for now — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 18:03, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Change "Kalder suffered of emphysema" to "Kalder suffered from emphysema" Wolfita (talk) 02:49, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Done. Thank you for the suggestion. — Diannaa (talk) 12:40, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Political association

As a member of the Nazi party and movement, he was not a right wing radical as stated in the article. Nazism is a socialist left political party, not a right leaning party. It's right in their name: National Socialist German Workers' Party. These are all descripters of a left leaning political philosophy and practice. At minimum, you should remove the phrase 'right wing radical' as it is neither accurate nor needed. Just state he was interested in the philosophies and practices of the Nazi party. Vanislescotty (talk) 17:10, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

You are incorrect. Socialist left-leaning elements of the party were eliminated in the Night of the Long Knives and the party was extreme right-wing from that point forward. — Diannaa (talk) 01:45, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
