This issue was probably also a result of vandalism or poor resetting of vandalism, but there are so many minor niggly changes in the history that I cannot be bothered to go through this with a fine comb.

Oberschütze
I do not believe that this is an SS man. Sure, the Oberschütze insignia are very dark, but he is wearing both Heer (Army) helmet as well as collar tabs.

Amsterdam (Van Halen song)
Sorry, but Amsterdam and Nijmegen are not really the same place, nor even in the same province, and the van Halens were born in Nijmegen. Maybe somebody could look into this.

Aftermath of the Korean War
I cannot comment on the NZ participation, but the Australians were decorated, as they carried out the operation. A troll user "uber trol" reworded the paragraph.
