The sick were left behind ( ie Death March)? But any who got sick on the march were shot? This seems odd - concern for prisoners instantly evaporated out on the road. How far was the march? Any citations on any of this. 159.105.80.141 13:52, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
You are presuming that common sense had a bearing on the Holocaust. The sick were left behind to die. Those who fell sick, or whose feeble strength gave out on the march were shot. Darkmind1970 11:06, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
I dont see any references or checkable sources for this page at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.196.48.219 ( talk) 18:33, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
My great uncle was with the 344th F.A., 90th I.D.; he was there when the camp was liberated. I have sat and listened to him talk of the camp and the later discovery of many of those who had been left behind during the forced march from the camp, some living, some not. The 96th may have been there and taken part as well; however, he never indicated to me that this was the case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.8.174.161 ( talk) 12:09, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
The 90th Infantry Division (United States) is listed in several places in the article as having liberated the camp. However, the caption on the picture states that the 97th Infantry Division (United States) liberated it. Both divisions were in the area around 23 April 1945. So who actually liberated it? Better yet, does anyone know the actual regiment that stumbled upon the camp? Joshuashearn ( talk) 16:26, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
This is not a very reliable source; the Federal Minister of Family Affairs was no doubt quoting other sources and was not himself present. Ib Melchior's autobiographical account Case by Case: A U.S. Army Counterintelligence Agent in World War II states that the 97th arrived first. CIC agents Larry Myers, Robie Macauley and Anthony Hecht, all of the 97th, corroborated this in their publications. Bob Hacker's post "Knocking the Lock Off the Gate at the Flossenbürg Concentration Camp" describes several other accounts, suggesting that members of the 97th arrived first but did not document this fact. Plaques honoring both the 90th and 97th were placed at the camp gates in 1995. Cmacauley ( talk) 16:24, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians ... there is some text at the end of one paragraph that reads "444,009,568,900 people didn’t live."
It looks like a typo since there aren't 444+ billion people anywhere - but on a sensitive subject like this I prefer not to edit. Is it a range of the number of people who were killed? i.e. should it be "444,009 to 568,900 people were killed." ..? Was there some other intention?

Thanks to User:Catrìona for making some good edits on this page, however I respectfully disagree with reducing the list of names of camp inmates and relegating the rest to the infobox. I feel that since Wikipedia is about information, the article should contain more information about the camp's residents, not less. Other information (such as Camp Commandants) can go in an infobox, but I don't see that other articles about concentration camps have put notable inmates there. Not sure what your rationale for doing this is. Cmacauley ( talk) 13:44, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
I agree with the comments by the above contributor that it is a shame to move the list of prisoners who were killed and those who were survived into the infobox.
In my opinion there are two arguments against this: a) it is inconsistent with Wikipedia pages on other concentration camps b) the listing in the infobox loses the description about the prisoner, which existed in the previous version, and this seems a shame.
I don't follow the argument about removing names of people for whom there is not an article or a red link (which is only another way of saying that there is currently no article on that person) By listing them with a red link it means that when a page on that person has been created the link will become active.

OK. So I've gone ahead and added that last map per the GAN. Based on this, the article has satisfied all the major points I'd made. Based on this, going to Pass the GAN now. Thanks for your work! — Ed! (talk) 03:49, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
Currently this article is in the War crimes of the Wehrmacht category, but I can't find any Wehrmacht war crimes being mentioned in the article. It should probably be moved to War crimes of the Waffen-SS (the article just says SS, I'm assuming it was run by the Waffen-SS)? — jonas ( talk) 11:17, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
