I'm hoping to find input from people who knew or met Alfons Heck and may be able to add their personal knowledge to this article. CAWook ( talk) 00:04, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
Why there is no german article about this nazi-criminal ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.171.82.231 ( talk) 18:08, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
—Heck was a kid—a little kid—when Hitler came to power (and only 16 when the war ended). Kids that age will believe whatever they are taught, whatever they are indoctrinated with. That was the point of Heck’s first book which he hoped will serve as a cautionary tale for future generations. Ms. Waterford, a Jewish Holocaust survivor with whom he lectured recounting their respective experiences, understood such and forgave his childish naiveté.
I am not familiar with any allegations against Heck that would rise to the level of a war crime, nor am I familiar with any challenge to his residency status in the United States. Had that not been the case, I doubt he ever would have courted such visibility. If you have knowledge to the contrary, please state what the allegation is and your source and its evidence. Please refrain from making naked allegations towards any Wikipedia subject without producing substantiation. HistoryBuff14 ( talk) 13:43, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
We need more sources, and more detailed notes to where in the lenghty text of the current source we can find the information given. I'm no expert when it comes to editing Wikipedia, so I hope someone more skilled will take their time and make it easier to find the information given in the Wiki-article.
